New Delhi: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday called for specialization in policing to provide world class services to the people.
“Law enforcement agencies should stress the need to give special training to police officers as per their area of interest to enhance professional skills and capabilities,” the Minister said while addressing the Indian Police Service (IPS) probationers of 2017 batch here.

He also asked the IPS probationers to maintain constant flow of information with public to solve their problems and suggested them to adopt yoga to bust their stress while performing duty.
