The annual DGP conference, which will be held in Delhi from January 20-22, 2023, will debate significant dangers and problems, and top police officers will get the opportunity to brief PM Modi on key policing and internal security matters.
On the agenda will be the use of technology for effective police, maritime security, cyber security, the battle on drugs, and improved border management.
Top of the agenda would also be dealing with the threat posed by Khalistani extremists, China’s growing belligerence on the line of actual control, economic threats, cybercrime and cryptocurrencies, and putting an end to the northeast insurgency through effective security force handling, as well as long-term solutions such as development assistance.
Since 2014, the PM has attended all sessions of the DGP conference organised by the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Intelligence Bureau, encouraging free and informal conversations.
The top brass of the police have convened outside of Delhi.
- The meeting was held in Guwahati in 2014,
- Rann of Kutch in 2015,
- National Police Academy in Hyderabad in 2016,
- BSF academy in Tekanpur in 2017,
- Pune in 2019 and
- virtually during the Covid epidemic, only to reconvene in Lucknow in a hybrid mode.
The police brass meeting returns to Delhi after a full cycle, one year before the Modi government’s second term ends in 2024.
