No wonder the police force is so overstretched and corrupt. We are about 530,000+ officers short, then how can we expect a professional police force to operate. It is high time that the State and Central govt. tackle the police reform issue as well as hiring officers at a war footing.
This is one of the first steps to be taken when developing a policing and CT strategy. Without boots on the ground and officers from every area and neighborhood, we will not be able to get the HUMINT needed nor expect the existing police force to work honorably and professionally.
Infact, it should be mandated that every state govt. spends atleast 3% of its GDP on the police and doubles their pay as well as double their number.

Million vacant government posts due to skill shortage to hurt India's growth - Economic Times
NEW DELHI: Critics of reform gripe that five years of scorching growth failed to create as many jobs as it should have, but behind India's 'jobless growth' story there's a far more intriguing tale.
There are over a million vacancies for the country's most coveted jobs - employment in the Central government - and they're just not getting filled.
These include the police and defence forces, which together have nearly 700,000 vacant posts, valued for the security of tenure and reliable, inflation-linked pay and pension schemes that they offer.
