Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Jung today asked Delhi police personnel to be on their toes as the road ahead is "very tough" and people have high expectations from them.
"Your training is more sensitive and serious because you have greater responsibilities today. Media and society is more aware, the population has escalated and that is why there are more expectations from you...You have to be on your toes because the road ahead is very tough," he said.
Jung was speaking at the passing out parade of recruit constables here.
"Today we talk of gender sensitivity, good behaviour and better investigation. You should be efficient in technology, forensics and computer applications," he said.
In his first public function after joining office, Jung said, "You are not a common man today, when you wear this uniform you have no caste, no religion."
"You don't belong to Delhi, Uttar Pradesh or Bihar but you are an Indian citizen. You have pledged to safeguard the constitution and once you wear this uniform you should have to fulfil this pledge," he said.
In the passing out parade, 2,339 Constables including 37 female Constables passed out after their basic training.
These constables had joined their training in October 2012. During their training they were imparted knowledge about law, human behaviour, police science, police practical work, police rules, criminology, terrorism and computer related crimes.
"These constables have been groomed in a way to serve the society in more humane manner. Sensitised on gender issues and crime against weaker section, especially women, children and senior citizens," a senior police officer said.
They where also given one-month commando training during their course, he added.
