Bhopal, January 9: Prime Minister Narendra Modi commended the country's security apparatus for the work they are doing in securing the country. Also, PM Modi warned the country’s top police officials about increasing social media and cyber-crimes and asked them to deal with such crimes on top priority.
He said that as a result of the discussions in this Conference over the last few years, now, once an objective is clearly defined for the police force, there is a lot of cohesion in the execution.
He said that the officers present in the gathering today have delivered leadership, despite often having to operate in an environment of negativity. He appreciated the officers who have been instrumental in facilitating this change.
He said just as openness is getting increased acceptance worldwide, there is need for greater openness among States too, on security issues. He said that security cannot be achieved selectively, or alone. But breaking of silos and information sharing among states can help make everyone more secure. "We are not an assembled entity, but an organic entity," he asserted.
The Prime Minister also presented President's Police Medals for Distinguished Service to IB officers. During his address the Prime Minister congratulated and appreciated the medal winning officers of IB, for their dedication and commitment to service.
