Similar unified urban policing models exist in many countries.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Rapid Urban Growth:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Many Indian cities now have populations above 10-20 lakh. Managing law and order in such densely populated urban areas requires faster and more specialised decision-making.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Complex Urban Challenges:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Big cities often face serious issues such as student protests, caste and communal tensions, labour strikes, organised crime, terrorism, cybercrime, heavy traffic and protests against government policies. These situations need quick action and proper coordination.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Unity of Command:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the traditional district system, the Superintendent of Police (SP) depends on the District Magistrate (DM) for certain executive powers. This can sometimes lead to delays or differences of opinion. The Commissionerate System removes this dual control and ensures a single command under the Police Commissioner, allowing faster response.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Committee Recommendations:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The 6th Report of the National Police Commission (1983) recommended introducing this system in cities with a population of 5 lakh and above. Later, the Draft Model Police Act (2005) also supported it for metro cities and large urban areas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Greater Responsibility and Accountability:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The system gives more power as well as responsibility to the Police Commissioner. It reduces the practice of shifting responsibility between police and magistrates.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Better Inter-City Coordination:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> For example, Noida in Uttar Pradesh shares a border with Delhi, which already follows this system. After adopting the Commissionerate System in parts of UP, coordination improved. Similarly, in Mumbai, the system has helped in dealing with complex issues, including organised crime in the past.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Additional Legal Powers:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Under this system, police officers are given extra powers under laws like the BNS, Police Act, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vajiramandravi.com\/upsc-exam\/national-security-act\/\" target=\"_blank\">National Security Act<\/a><\/strong>, and other security laws.

Without strong accountability, this may lead to misuse of authority.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Low Public Trust: Historically, police in India have not always enjoyed high public confidence. People often feel more comfortable approaching civil officers like the District Magistrate. More powers to police may create fear of \u201cpolice raj\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Risk of Political Misuse:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> In the absence of clear transparency and oversight mechanisms, the police machinery may be influenced by the ruling government.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Overlapping Responsibilities:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The areas of law and order and public order often overlap in practice, leading to possible confusion in handling situations.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Need for Public Awareness:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> The system works better in states where literacy and awareness of legal rights are higher, as informed citizens act as a check on misuse of power.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Difference Between Dual System and Commissionerate System<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In India, policing functions under two main models &#8211; the Dual System (District System) and the Commissionerate System.
