Emerging internal security threats of the 21st century call for a modern, efficient and responsive police force. In this perspective, present a case for well-rounded police reforms.

Case for police reforms: 1. Updated with pandemic tech and modern problems 2. Data surveillance - Cybersecurity 3. Responsive - Institutional anonymity has to change (is police if now seen as a friendly guardian than fearful custodian) 4. Efficient - Utilize more with less resources, with help of technology eg. RFS tracking of criminal records 5. Models: - Tech savvy - updated with new technology - Global cooperation for cross border crimes like human trafficking, organized crime Hence, SMART police (Smart, Modern, Adaptive, Responsible, Tech savvy) is the need of new generation police.
