Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu on Wednesday urged police personnel in Amaravati to adopt technology-driven methods to prevent crime and to treat victims with humanity.
Addressing a gathering later, he said effective law and order was essential for the state's development, for attracting investments and for people's well-being.
He said police personnel must combine advanced technology with humane treatment of victims. The approach, he said, aimed to prevent crime, strengthen public trust and support investment-led development.
Speaking on Police Commemoration Day, Naidu paid tribute to personnel who died in the line of duty.
He said their sacrifices should be remembered as a responsibility and not merely with sympathy.
Describing policing as a noble profession, he said personnel risked their lives to protect the public.
He said the khaki uniform represented responsibility and that the police offered reassurance to people.
He told the gathering that police personnel must adopt technology-driven methods to prevent crimes, treat victims with humanity and maintain effective law and order. He linked those tasks to the state's development, to attracting investments and to ensuring people's well-being in the same address.
Chief Minister N Chandrababu Naidu spoke in Amaravati on Wednesday as part of Police Commemoration Day observances. He said the force should use advanced technology alongside humane treatment of victims so that crime prevention and public trust worked together with investment-led development.
Naidu paid homage on the day to officers who died while on duty and asked that their sacrifices be held as a responsibility. He described policing as work in which personnel risk their lives to protect the public and said the khaki uniform stood for responsibility and reassurance to citizens.
The commemoration event in Amaravati on Wednesday brought serving personnel before the chief minister after the formal programme, when he expanded on how he wanted day-to-day policing to run.
Naidu said humane treatment of victims should run parallel to crime prevention through technology, and that public trust would strengthen when both were practiced together on the ground.
He told personnel that maintaining law and order was part of the same duty that supported the state's push for development and for drawing investment, not a separate track from those goals.
