Are cops enough in Bangalore?

I think the cop-to-public ratio in Bangalore is very low. The first thing to improve the state of affairs of any city or town or any place in general is to first ensure that the policing is done properly. Since we still have way to go in terms of technology and have an inherent advantage of mass population, we need to go for more COPS. This will have multiple benefits as can be seen in my later posts.

Also, I feel that the best way to change the way the common man on the street behaves, is by strict policing. The best example of this is the city-country of SINGAPORE - the general public are so scared of the police (supposedly the whip-lashing is the most dreaded) and hence they dont spit on the roads, for example. Also, there is an additional factor of a huge fine that is in store for anyone who gets caught for spitting on public roads. I think its time that in India, we need to have police come up with such policies for various things like spitting, public urination, depositing garbage on roads, etc. For this to happen, the first step is to ensure that we have more Cops. Only this way, we can start instilling the culture in the citizens of India that someone will catch us if we dont do things in the proper way. Slowly, this fear will turn to a cultural characteristic and people will STOP doing things the wrong way.

WHAT are COPS required for? This is a topic for one whole blog and I will add things as and when required.

I would like to check the net and see if there are any stats on the cop-to-public ratio of other cities and if I get it, will update this post.
