INTRODUCTION TO POLICE DUTY MEET
The All India Police Duty Meet is organized annually with the aim of improving the standards of professional performance in the Police Forces of India. Started in 1953 as Rifle and Revolver Shooting Competition, it has gradually grown to its present form covering various aspects of investigation of crime, particularly those relating to scientific and technical aids to investigation.
There has always been a need for bringing together Police men from various districts/ranges so that they could discuss the problems common to them and their possible solutions and exchange good practices etc. It is thought that by organizing such Police Duty Meet, the participants would gain from each other’s experiences which would result in greater efficiency and improvement in the standard of professional performance of the entire force. The increase in the professional capacity would ultimately benefit the common citizen. The image of the police would also rise in the eyes of civil society, media, judiciary, polity etc. thereby the confidence level of Junior and middle level leadership would considerably go up.

DOG COMPETITION
( The Word 'Dog' includes both sexes )
GENERAL INSRTUCTIONS
The underlying objective of Police Duty Meet is to promote competitive excellence amongst the participants in professional skills and discipline essential for effective policing. Sniffing of explosives by police dogs is one of the competitive events. Explosive sniffer dogs constitute an integral part of our Anti-sabotage check efforts which heavily rely on them for the purpose. Anti-sabotage checks undertaken by Dogs not properly trained or capable, enhance the danger from undetected explosives and a false sense of security. There is an urgent need for remedial measure. One of the reasons for their poor performance could be that dogs are rarely given refresher training by way of exposure to different types of explosives. The dog’s initial imprint learnt during training fades if it does not smell an explosive over extended duration of time. Besides, it is important that the Handler of the dog is not changed during operational life time of the dog. Ideally the handler should also undergo explosive training course with the dog and continue to work with it thereafter. These measures may be considered in the interest of bringing about overall and significant improvement in performance of sniffer dogs. This particular area of police work does not seem to be receiving the kind of attention and priority it deserves. It is essential that above mentioned system should be continued by giving training and management of sniffer dogs and implemented for making them more effective.

DOG COMPETITION
( The Word 'Dog' includes both sexes )
GENERAL INSRTUCTIONS
The underlying objective of Police Duty Meet is to promote competitive excellence amongst the participants in professional skills and discipline essential for effective policing. Sniffing of explosives by police dogs is one of the competitive events. Explosive sniffer dogs constitute an integral part of our Anti-sabotage check efforts which heavily rely on them for the purpose. Anti-sabotage checks undertaken by Dogs not properly trained or capable, enhance the danger from undetected explosives and a false sense of security. There is an urgent need for remedial measure. One of the reasons for their poor performance could be that dogs are rarely given refresher training by way of exposure to different types of explosives. The dog’s initial imprint learnt during training fades if it does not smell an explosive over extended duration of time. Besides, it is important that the Handler of the dog is not changed during operational life time of the dog. Ideally the handler should also undergo explosive training course with the dog and continue to work with it thereafter. These measures may be considered in the interest of bringing about overall and significant improvement in performance of sniffer dogs. This particular area of police work does not seem to be receiving the kind of attention and priority it deserves. It is essential that above mentioned system should be continued by giving training and management of sniffer dogs and implemented for making them more effective.
