Big day in the life of Dr Pasricha

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal"><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Bombay Times </span>asks new police chief <span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Dr P S Pasricha </span>his gameplan. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Image problem</span><br /><br />It''s a challenge. Something has gone wrong somewhere. I will try to rectify the grey areas.We''ll look in the mirror to see if we need a cosmetic change. I''ll consult retired commissioners, officials, editors, for their suggestions. Feedback is most important.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Corruption</span><br /><br />Corruption is everywhere. You get the system you deserve. Public faith in the police must be restored. Don''t forget that those probing the Telgi scam are also cops. They have not spared anybody. I will see to it that the Crime Branch is rid of groupism and people working at cross-purposes. I''ll ask Joint Commissioner of Police Dr Satya Pal Singh to probe allegations of some officials'' underworld links.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Efficiency</span><br /><br />It''s not that we don''t have efficient officers. Like everywhere, there are some who are inefficient, and it''s my duty to find them and punish them. <br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Morale</span><br /><br />I know there are many good officers. I will see to it that their morale is high and that they are in the right posts. We are also working out a project with a private firm to streamline timings of policemen on duty.<br /><br /><span style="" font-weight:="" bold="">Modernisation</span><br /><br />This is an ongoing process. We are emphasising on video surveillance systems, tracking criminal callers and computerising all police stations. Traffic management will be more scientific.</div> </div>
