Om Birla urges IPS officers to strengthen public trust and internal security
New Delhi: Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla has urged young IPS officers to build public trust through transparent, impartial and responsive policing. He said effective institutions and dedicated public servants are essential to building a stronger and more prosperous India. Birla also stressed the need for police officers to understand citizens’ concerns and protect their rights.
He made these remarks while interacting with a group of IPS probationers at the Parliament House Complex on November 11, 2026. He called on the officers to dedicate themselves to serving the people and the nation. He also described the Indian Police Service as an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people’s lives.
Birla said police officers must maintain regular contact with the public and understand their needs. He identified public trust as the foundation of effective policing. Therefore, he urged the probationers to earn citizens’ confidence through impartiality, transparency, accessibility and prompt action.
He also said people should view the police as more than an agency responsible for maintaining law and order. Instead, the force must serve as a dependable institution that protects citizens’ rights and security. He urged the young officers to place public welfare at the centre of their professional responsibilities.
Public trust and technology in modern policing
Birla highlighted the growing role of technology in preventing and detecting crime. He encouraged the probationers to use emerging technologies, digital tools, data analytics and modern investigative methods. These tools, he said, can improve operational efficiency and help police respond more effectively. They can also strengthen the country’s overall law-and-order framework.
The Speaker noted that social challenges continue to evolve. Consequently, police officers must remain open to new ideas and regularly upgrade their professional skills. He called for innovative approaches that combine technological progress with human sensitivity and compassion.
Birla urged the probationers to discharge their duties with commitment, integrity, sensitivity and accountability. He expressed confidence that their training, enthusiasm and dedication would help strengthen India’s internal security. He also said their contributions would support efforts to build a safe, secure and progressive country.
The interaction also gave the IPS probationers an opportunity to exchange views with the Lok Sabha Speaker. They gained insights into the functioning of Parliament and India’s democratic institutions. The meeting highlighted the importance of responsible public service and effective policing in strengthening democratic institutions.
संविधान सदन के केंद्रीय कक्ष में संसद के अध्ययन दौरे पर आए भारतीय पुलिस सेवा (IPS) के 78वें आरआर बैच (2025 बैच) के अधिकारियों के साथ संवाद किया।
भारत की संसद और संसदीय प्रणाली हमारे लोकतंत्र की गौरवशाली पहचान हैं। संविधान विधायिका, कार्यपालिका और न्यायपालिका के दायित्वों को निर्धारित करते हुए न्याय, समानता और बंधुता पर आधारित शासन व्यवस्था का मार्गदर्शन करता है। कानून और नीतियों की वास्तविक सार्थकता उनके प्रभावी क्रियान्वयन में निहित होती है, जिसकी महत्वपूर्ण जिम्मेदारी प्रशासनिक एवं पुलिस अधिकारियों पर होती है। युवा अधिकारियों से अपेक्षा है कि वे संवेदनशीलता, निष्पक्षता और जनसेवा की भावना के साथ अपने दायित्वों का निर्वहन करें। कानून का उद्देश्य केवल व्यवस्था बनाए रखना नहीं, बल्कि प्रत्येक नागरिक के अधिकारों और गरिमा की रक्षा करना भी है। समाज के अंतिम व्यक्ति तक न्याय और सुरक्षा का विश्वास पहुँचाना ही लोकसेवा की वास्तविक कसौटी है। पुलिस सेवा में महिलाओं की बढ़ती भागीदारी भी एक सकारात्मक परिवर्तन है।
मुझे विश्वास है कि ये युवा अधिकारी अपनी निष्ठा, दक्षता और मानवीय दृष्टिकोण से राष्ट्रसेवा करते हुए सुशासन और लोकतांत्रिक मूल्यों को और सुदृढ़ करेंगे।@LBSNAA_Official
