INTRODUCTION TO THE FIRST EDITION
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 (in addition to Rifle and Revolver shooting, competition in Wireless Transmission and First Aid) various aspects of investigation of crime, particularly those relating to scientific and technical aids to investigation.
The All India Police Duty Meet is organized by each State on rotation, on behalf of the Central Coordinating Committee, which is elected by the Conference of Inspectors General of Police. Till January, 1960 the Central Coordinating Committee consisted of the Director, Intelligence Bureau as Chairman, the Inspector General of Police, Special Police Establishment, Inspector General of Police, Delhi, the Commandant, Central Police Training College, one Joint Director of the Intelligence Bureau as member and one Joint Director/Deputy Director of the Intelligence Bureau as Member Secretary. The Conference of Inspectors General of Police held in January, 1960 elected the Commandant, Central Forensic Institutes, as member of the Central Coordinating Committee in place of the Commandant, Central Police Training College. The Central Coordinating Committee formulates all rules and procedures for the competitions.
The Central Coordinating Committee has from time to time formulated and circulated rules for the competitions comprising the All India Police Duty Meet. The Committee has now found it necessary to
9
collate all these rules and publish them in the pamphlet for ready guidance and reference.
The All India Police Duty Meet is organized in the first week of November every year. It has become the tradition that the Chief Minister of the host State declares the Meet open and the Governor presides over the concluding function. The Inspector General of Police of the host state makes an introductory speech at the opening ceremony, while the Chairman of the Central Coordinating Committee makes the concluding speech before inviting the Governor to give away the prizes.
So far seven Meets have been held. The host State normally produces a souvenir in which the messages of the Prime Minister, the Union Home Minister and other dignitaries are published in addition to various details regarding the Meet and its organization.

INTRODUCTION (HISTORY)
Before 1950s, when the idea of holding a Police Duty Meet was organized, there was little occasion for Police officers in a particular area to meet and exchange their experiences with those of their brother officers from other Police organizations of the country. There had always been a need for bringing together Police officers from various states so that they could discuss the problems common to them and their possible solutions. It was 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. It was with this purpose that the All India Police Duty Meet was first started in 1953 under the guidance of an Adhoc Committee of the All India Athletics and Sports Organisation in the form of Rifle and Revolver shooting competition. The competition was a success and in the second Meet in 1954, First Aid and Ambulance Drill were also included. A Central Coordinating Committee was also formed for organizing All India Police Duty Meet which laid down rules and procedures for the sports competitions of the Meet which were modified from time to time, keeping in view the experience gained and suggestions made during these Meets. Since then, the number of items and number of participants competing has grown steadily. Competitions in Wireless Transmission, Scientific Aid, Cryptography, Police photography and Motor Transport were also included.
in 1958 Government of India instituted a Police Medal for according recognition to the acts of life saving by the Policemen. Award of this Medal called “Prime Minister‟s Police Medal for life saving” has also been
11
incorporated as part of the All India Police Duty Meet. The institution of this medal has been a source of encouragement to the Police forces of India and is a constant inspiration to all the Policemen for doing their best in saving human life.
Since the beginning, the Meet is being held every year except during the years 1965, 1967 and 1971.
Police Duty Squad competition introduced for the first time in the All India Police Duty Meet in 1973 held at Cuttack added to the attractiveness of the Meet, providing display of various Dog Squads, which are assets to the Police forces. Computer awareness competition was included in 1992. In the year 1999, Police Band competition, Anti Sabotage checks and Police videography were also included in the Meet whereas the First Aid and Ambulance Drill, Wireless Transmission competition, Cryptography and Motor Transport competition were deleted from the events of the Meet.
Most of the states felt increasingly difficult to organize this Meet at one place because of competitions in several disciplines and the large number of participants it attracted. It was, therefore, the joint meeting of the All India Police Sports Control Board and All India police Duty Meet held on October 28, 1999 at Delhi decided to split the Meet into three parts viz., (1) Rifle/Revolver shooting competition, (2) Band competition & (3) AIPDM (Scientific aid to investigation, Police photography, Computer Awareness, Police videography, Anti-sabotage checks, Police dog competition & Award of Life saving Medal). The All India Police Rifle/Revolver shooting competitions and All India Police Band competitions are held separately by different States since 1999 and 2000
12
respectively. The All India Police Commando Competition was included w.e.f. 2010 & 1st Commando Competition was held at BSF Academy, Takenpur.
The All India Police Duty Meet is organized by each state on rotation on behalf of the Central Coordinating Committee, which is elected biennially in the conference of Directors General of Police. Till January, 1960 the Central Coordinating Committee consisted of the Director, Intelligence Bureau as Chairman, the Inspector General of Police – Special Police establishments, Inspector General of Police – Delhi, the Commandant – Central Police Training College, one Joint Director of Intelligence Bureau as Member and one Joint Director/Deputy Director of Intelligence Bureau as Member-Secretary. The conference of Inspectors General of Police held in January, 1960 elected the Commandant, Central Forensic Institute as a Member of the Central Coordinating Committee in place of the Commandant, Central Police Training College.
Presently, the Central Coordinating Committee of All India Police Duty Meet consists of 10 members including the Director, Intelligence Bureau as Chairman, a Joint Director of I.B. as Member-Secretary and rest of the eight members are DGPs/DGs of different states/CPOs/UT Police forces. The Central Coordinating Committee formulates all the rules and procedures for the competitions and circulates to all for the competitions comprising the All India Police Duty Meet.
The host State normally produces a souvenir in which the messages of the Prime Minister, the Union Home Minister and other
13
dignitaries are published, in addition to various details regarding the Meet and its organization.
The All India Police Welfare Exhibition competition has been dispensed with w.e.f. XXXII AIPDM -1988. However, the state by which the Meet is held, conducts the Welfare Seminar with the help of an Organising Committee and any other committees considered necessary by it. Welfare Seminar will be attended by the Gazetted Officers representing the participating States. The seminar will discuss various aspects of welfare activities in different states and makes its recommendations. The manner in which the seminar will be conducted shall be decided by the IGP of the host State. A progress report by each unit for the work done during the year may be presented.

DOG COMPETITION
(The Word – „Dog‟ includes both sex)
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS :
The underlying objective of All India Police Duty Meet is to promote competitive excellence amongst the participants in professional skills and disciplines essential for effective policing. Sniffing of explosives by police dog is one of the competitive events in the AIPDM. During the 51st AIPDM held at Mumbai organized by RPF, the performance of most of the police dogs raised questions about their effectiveness. The failure rate was found to be extremely high particularly in the ground search, vehicle search and luggage search events. This was a cause of serious concern. 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 reason 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
58
priority it deserves. It is essential that above mentioned system should be continued by giving training and management of sniffer dog and implemented for making them more effective.

LIFE SAVING WORK BY THE POLICE
(Prime Minister‟s Police Medal for Life Savings)
1. In order to encourage Policemen of all ranks to bring help and succor to the afflicted, it has been decided that in the All India Police Duty Meet, a separate award will be made in cases where exemplary devotion to duty is shown by a Policeman in saving human life.
2. The award will be in the form of a medal and will be styled and designated as the “Prime Minister‟s Police Medal for Life Saving”.
3. The medal will be circular in shape made of bronze.
4. The medal will be awarded to only those members of a recognized Police Force within the territory of India who have done outstanding work in saving human life.
5. Fifteen copies of the report of the cases to be considered for the award of this medal will be personally singed by the Inspector General of Police and sent (through the State Government) to the (Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India, New Delhi), soon after the event takes place. (However, only those recommendations which are received up-to 31st July of a year will be considered during that year. Recommendations received thereafter will be held over for consideration next year). Recommendations which are more than one year old & received after 31st July will not be considered.
90
6. The Central Coordinating Committee running All India Police Duty Meet will judge the merit of cases reported, on the basis of risk involved in life saving and the skill, physical endurance, courage and devotion to duty exhibited.
7. The Committee‟s recommendations will be sent to the Home Secretary for final approval.
8. As the medal will carry the Prime Minister‟s name. the nominations for its award should be done in all seriousness and the standard of cases reported should be really high.
9. In some cases, the act of life saving done may entitle the Policeman concerned to a gallantry medal. In such case, whilst sending the recommendation, the IGP should definitely mention whether a case for the award of gallantry medal is also being forwarded. If this is so, then the Central Coordinating Committee will keep the recommendation, pending till the case for award of gallantry medal is also being forwarded. If this is so, then the Central Coordinating Committee will keep the recommendation, pending till the case for award of the gallantry medal is decided. If the gallantry medal is not awarded for this particular event, the case will be taken up for consideration for award of the life saving medal.
i) The description of the medal and the ribbon, is as indicated below:- “The medal shall be circular in shape, made of bronze, one and three – eight inches in diameter, and shall have embossed on the obverse the State Emblem in the Centre, and the words “Prime Minister‟s Police Medal” above,
91
and the State motto “Satyameva Jayate” in the Devanagri script at the bottom of the State Emblem along the edge of the medal, separated by two five pointed heraldic stars. On the reverse, it shall have embossed in the centre the design of the front view of a circular shield, to the left and right of which will be ornamental patterns of a lotus stalk with a bud and leaf. Above the shield along the circular edge will be inscribed the words “FOR SAVING LIFE” and below the shield the words “JIWAN RAKSHANARTHA” in Devanagri script.
The medal shall be suspended from the left breast, and the ribbon of one inch and three eights in width, shall have four stripes of red, blue, saffron and green in that order beginning from the left. The blue and the saffron stripes will be of equal width, each being half of the width of the red and green stripes”.
ii) (a) By way of explanation of the design of medal and the ribbon, it may be added that the obverse bears the State Emblem and the name of the Medal, e.g. “PRIME MINISTER‟S POLICE MEDAL”. On the reverse the design of the circular Indian shield is supposed to convey the idea of protecting and saving life in danger. Life itself is to be represented by the lotus bud which is a traditional Indian design, and also appears on our Independence Medal, currency notes etc.
92
In the Colours mentioned for the Ribbon, red Symbolises danger, blue is the accepted Police colour and saffron is the colour traditionally associated in India with sacrifice, while green signifies life. Incidentally, it may be mentioned that green also appears on the National Flag and is intended to represent prosperity. The colours of ribbon suggested above, therefore, adequately represent the idea of life being saved by the Police through sacrifice, from danger.
Note: The Joint meeting of members of AIPSCB and AIPDM (January 11, 2012, New Delhi) decided to increase Cash Reward from Rs. 5000/- to Rs. 10000/- to each medal winner and from Rs. 10000/- to Rs. 25000/- to the medal winner who received it posthumously.
