Police are not trained to prevent crime; crores of funds used only for purchases

The argument that scientific training is necessary for policemen in order to effectively defend against unexpected attacks by criminals and to protect the lives of others is becoming stronger. Attention was drawn to this shortcoming when the Kerala Chief Minister said in Irinjalakuda that the police should be well prepared to deal with emergencies. Prevention of Crime is taught as a paper in the Police Academy but practical training is not provided.
