" Living Conditions Of Police Personnel In Assam: A Study In The Nagaon District Of Assam "

Abstract

Police personnel in Assam play an important role in preserving peace and order. They encounter a variety of problems, including insufficient resources, bad working conditions, and hazards to their personal safety. Efforts to improve their welfare, training, and equipment are critical for ensuring effective police and increasing public safety in the area. This research looks at the living circumstances of police officers in Assam's Nagaon District, with a particular emphasis on measuring the success of police reforms after independence and investigating officer quality of life. Data was obtained using a mix of quantitative and qualitative methodologies to answer particular study topics. The study examines the evolution of police reforms in Assam since independence, evaluating their quantitative effects on law enforcement effectiveness, accountability, and public confidence. Furthermore, the research looks at the important aspects that influence the quality of life for police officers in Assam, such as working conditions, salary, housing, and access to necessary services and support networks. The study's findings reflect a varied degree of public confidence in police officers, emphasizing the need of taking proactive actions to address attitudes and enhance trust. While most respondents recognize the supply of living amenities, differences in satisfaction with government-provided pay highlight areas for future improvement in compensation systems. Demands for changes within the police force stress structural concerns that must be addressed in order to increase credibility and effectiveness. Although weekly vacations improve work-life balance, concerns regarding health difficulties caused by working hours highlight the need for regulatory changes. Furthermore, confessions of misconduct and corruption inside the department highlight the critical need for internal reforms to maintain integrity. Overall, this research offers useful insights into the problems encountered by police personnel in Assam, laying the framework for informed policy choices targeted at resolving concerns, improving the efficacy of law enforcement operations, and encouraging a healthy work environment for officers.
