The conference serves as one of the most important annual platforms for top security officials to exchange views on internal security concerns.
According to the statement, the Conference “provides a vital interactive platform for senior Police leaders and security administrators from across the country to engage in open and meaningful exchanges on a wide range of national security issues.” It also supports discussion on “operational, infrastructural, and welfare-related challenges faced by the Police forces,” along with sharing best practices in crime-fighting and maintaining law and order.
Under the Prime Minister’s guidance, the format of the DGsP/IGsP Conference has been revamped in recent years, with host locations rotated across the country.

This year, Raipur continues that tradition.
