Taking a serious note of excessive subordinate staff deployment among senior officials, Delhi Police Commissioner Alok Kumar Verma has directed to conduct manpower audit and withdraw excess staff from officers. The top cop has issued directions to deploy all the executive staff working in ministerial jobs for operational duties.
He also gave a clear direction that the officers’ offices will not have any executive staff and only ministerial personnel will be deployed there. It is noted that the deployment of police personnel for 1.86 crore population is only 30,891, including those on VVIPs’ duties. As per the Delhi Police data, total pending cases has touched 1,08,819 till July 15 this year that also include 4,786 henious crime. The crime against women cases also touched 8,527.
Sources said that it was shocking to find that many top officers have around 30 personnel deployed in their offices. Strangely, many inspectors and sub-inspectors, who were idealy suited in field and investigation, are deployed in the offices of senior officers. Even personnel with commando training are deployed.
In a confidential note, HS Rawat, ACP/CB asked all Special Commissioners of Police and Joint Commissioners of Police to provide details of staff posted in personal sections of officers. “As such a list of police personnel i.e. stenos, ministerial and executive staff posted in personnel section of officers from the rank of DCPs and above may please by supplied to this Headquarters by July 25 for the perusal of Commissioner of Police,” the order said.
