A culture apart: policing in Stanford

The culture of policing in India is a debated topic where the 'police' word raises similar thoughts as in colonial times in the minds of most of the people.

It contrasts with police culture in developed countries where police is not only to enforce laws but for service to the people. 

A case in point is the Stanford police. It is based on the values that police has to consider every person as their child even if they are going to arrest them. Even a person with overdose of alcohol is taken care of police by first admitting them to hospital.

Values like these no doubt infuse massive sense of confidence among the public about the police.
