14. What needs to be done Fill up gaps in the sanctioned and available strengths of the police force at the level of the Investigating Officers and in the Police Control Room (100/103 helpline). Separate Investigation from Law and Order. Police should take steps to reach out to SEC B & C classes to address any apprehensions about police, law & order. Using regional language mediums, local cable channels can be helpful. Strengthen and where necessary create infrastructure for continuous training, forensic labs, crime mapping and crime forecasting. Upgrade the archaic police acts to suit the needs of today. 14
