Status of Policing in India Report
The Status of Policing in India Report (SPIR) is a series of comprehensive studies that assesses the performance and perceptions of policing across Indian states. It has been published periodically since 2018. Each edition provides a detailed analysis of various aspects of policing in India, including performance, public perception, and operational challenges. These reports evaluate the conditions under which police operate and gather perceptions from both citizens and police personnel.
The SPIR is a collaborative effort primarily conducted by Common Cause (India) and Lokniti-Centre for the Study of Developing Societies (CSDS) with contributions from other organizations like the Lal Family Foundation and Sir Ratan Tata Trust. Currently, Common Cause (India) is looking after the responsibility of publishing this report.
