| The Rajasthan Police have been looking at ways of revamping the police system. After appointing community observers in police stations, they have now come up with a manual on good behaviour.
The guide on how to win friends and influence people is a must read for every policeman in the state.
The manual is the result of a workshop sponsored by the Massachusets Institute of Technology (MIT). It aims to look at ways of improving police performance in Rajasthan and hopes to change the way people perceive policeman, as rude and arrogant.
The manual teaches the policemen patience, how to control anger, stress and in spite of the pressures of their job, meet the public with a smile.
The target of this training are the policemen, who interact most often with the public and those who are posted in police stations and traffic constables.
''The idea is to improve the performance, for example, when they go for investigation or enquiry how should they interact with women, children and elder citizens,'' said Nina Singh, IG Personnel.
After the special training, the cops say, how to behave with people should actually be taught to them when they join the police force.
''Earlier the police used pressure tactics to get things done, but now we realise that it is not always necessary to use force. You can get things done by positive action as well,'' said Surja Ram, constable.
''If I have to fine somebody breaking traffic rules, the person will try and get out of it by dropping names. But I have learnt that politely and reasonably I can convince him that what he has done is wrong and he should pay for it,'' said another constable Kishanpal.
A survey by MIT researches found that more than 70 per cent of people feel policeman are rude and don't make an effort to solve their problems.
