Holistic reforms needed

People of India have complete mistrust of the police forces. In 2006, our Supreme court had recommended holistic reforms in the police governance. But it has not been adhered to. Several reforms were urgently needed. Some are: The tenure of the chief officer should be fixed; the lower rank officers like the constable must be given incentives to work well.Promotions should be given to those who work hard. And bribes should not be taken for favours like promotions. Police should have more facilities, they should have good equipment. More resources should be  allocated to the police; police force must be increased in size(there are few policemen as per population).
We have big issues on trust. Respect for the power of the police is there but people just hate the police. How to"command respect"? Police have to become more sensitive, more responsive and become sensible. Police should interfere only when the society demands their presence and not otherwise.They should not create fear their very presence. How to protect the "poor person" should be the attitude as the poor are more vulnerable to injustices.Poor people feel, if a cop is around, he will pick one and beat him, and blame for some or other crime. There is "fear culture" created by the police. 
There is militaristic hierarchy within the police force.It is wrong to assume that with higher rank, the office would have more wisdom. Nor does age reflect superiority. Taking orders, and doing official work is militaristic and does not fulfil the daily duties of the police.All this reflects that the training of the police is most inadequate.
Why are police officers are never trusted? Torture in custody is common. Confession in a police station involves brutality and violence.But confession in front of magistrate would be a statement recorded in a proper court. So confession in police station has to go. Judiciary and the police must trust each other first, so that the justice process functions properly. When there is dysfunctional police, how can statements and reports given by police considered by courts? Courts need the reports given by the police.Delays in courts are often caused by delays by the police investigations.Both police and courts are ineffective and dysfunctional, and they cause the biggest problems for the Indian people. It is because people are themselves peaceful in nature that we have little need for the brute force of the police. People themselves have internalised social sanctions and need of external social control is very less.
