Inspector General of Police: Police Service is a Distinct Lifestyle, Not Just a Job

Kathmandu. Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dan Bahadur Karki stated that police service is not merely a job but represents a distinct lifestyle. Addressing the passing-out parade for Police Inspectors at the National Police Training Academy in Maharajgunj on Sunday, Karki remarked, 'Police service is not just a job; it is a distinct lifestyle.'

He cautioned the incoming Inspectors, who are about to enter the field, to treat the authority granted by the state as a responsibility. Karki noted that the classical theory viewing investment in security as unproductive is changing. He stated, 'Investment must be appropriate for the era.'

A total of 92 Police Inspectors from the 183rd batch were commissioned on Sunday after completing an 18-month-long training. Among those commissioned are 9 women and 83 men.

Mentioning that the police force has risen from the dust, Karki said, 'The police, having risen from the ashes, are once again dedicated to serving the citizens.' He added that the responsibility of the police has increased further.
