In its Annual Report for 2013, which was tabled in the Assembly today, the Commission said, "In our first report (in 2008), we recommended the State Chief of Police to formulate accountability parameters of various ranks, including supervisory responsibility of senior ranks of and above the rank of Superintendent of Police (SP)".
A thorough enforcement of accountability at all levels in the police was accordingly called for, the State Police Accountability Commission, Assam (SPACA) said.
The Commission, under the Chairmanship of Justice (Retd) Dhiresh Narayan Chowdhury, urged the police force personnel to keep their private lives scrupulously clean, develop self- restraint and be truthful and honest in thought and deed in personal as well as professional lives.
"Increased accountability will enhance efficiency and higher rate of conviction sending the right signal to criminals. It would make an appreciable difference to the maintenance of law and order for the better. It is elementary fact that people expect security of life and property and improved law and order," the report stressed.
