Further,  the  Government  constituted  a  Review  Committee  headed  by Shri  R.S.

certain amount each year for providing incentive/grants to State Governments for implementation   of  Police  Reforms.   To   incentivize  the implementation of police reforms as recommended by the various committees, originally a provision of keeping up to 10% of the total annual allocation  of  the  scheme  was  made.    This  incentive  component  has  been increased to 'up to 20%' of the total allocation from the year 2019-20.

Ministry  of  Home  Affairs  has  also  introduced  a  system  for  ranking  of Police stations since 2018. It is a two stage process where 3 Police Stations from  States  having  more  than  750  police  stations,  2  each  from  all  other States and Delhi and 1 each from Union Territories are selected from more than 16,000 Police Stations in the country on the basis of rate of conviction in  cases  of  crimes  against  women,  crimes  against  SCs/STs,  property offences  and  missing  persons,  unidentified  found  persons  &  unidentified dead bodies. In the second stage, performance measurement is done based on  parameters  like  crime  prevention  and  proactive  measures,  disposal  of cases, maintenance of public order, infrastructure assessment and citizens feedback. Personal visits  are  made  by  the  surveying  team  to  the  selected police stations for this purpose.

The guidelines provide for awarding two sets of awards i.e. one for the top  3  best  police  stations  in  the  country  and  another  for  the  best  police station in each State/Union Territory.

Certificates  have  been  provided  to  the  top  police stations of the State/UT.
