  8. Gap of Investigating Officers (IO) • As of July 2013, Mumbai police has a strength of 35,761 officers out of the sanctioned 41,398, a gap of 14%. • The gap for investigating officers (API and PSI) is 50%. • This severely affects not only the quality of investigations but also causes delay in completing investigation.

  9. Gap of Officers in the control room (100/103) • Control Room is short by 140 officers (again a gap of 52%). • Praja-Hansa (24,694) household(s) survey: Only 40% of those who had faced or witnessed crime have used police helplines (100/103).

  14. What needs to be done • Fill up gaps in the sanctioned and available strengths of the police force at the level of the Investigating Officers and in the Police Control Room (100/103 helpline). • Separate Investigation from Law and Order. • Police should take steps to reach out to SEC B & C classes to address any apprehensions about police, law & order. Using regional language mediums, local cable channels can be helpful. • Strengthen and where necessary create infrastructure for continuous training, forensic labs, crime mapping and crime forecasting. • Upgrade the archaic police acts to suit the needs of today.
