Union Home Minister reviews the Performance Measurement System (PMS) of Rajasthan Police as part of Smart Police initiative

The Union Home Minister, Shri Rajnath Singh reviewed the Performance Measurement System (PMS), an initiative of the Rajasthan Police, here today. The presentation was in pursuance of the concept of SMART policing. PMS is an online application to evaluate the performance of all Police Stations, Circle Officers and District SPs across the State of Rajasthan on monthly basis. The Director, State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB), Rajasthan, Shri Kapil Garg, made a detailed presentation in the presence of Union Home Secretary Shri LC Goyal, Delhi Police Commissioner Shri BS Bassi, DG (BPR&D) Shri NR Wasan, Secretary (IS) Shri Ashok Prasad and other senior officers of MHA. 

During the presentation it was explained that a scoring matrix has been created with positive and negative marks for performance in fourteen parameters. The SCRB has developed web-based Performance Measurement System for Police Stations for effective monitoring by senior officers as per the proposed performance measurement criteria. 

Shri Rajnath Singh appreciated this innovative initiative of Rajasthan police and directed that this may be circulated among all the States/UTs for replication. He directed that parameters of Individual Performance Auditing and Public Perception should also be incorporated. He further stated that other such good practices in effective policing in different states may be examined and adopted.
