Policing is no longer just about traditional law enforcement; it is increasingly being influenced by digital tools, data analytics, and scientific progress

In the aftermath of Operation Sindoor, India’s understanding of national security has undergone a profound and unprecedented transformation.

The traditional concept of warfare, limited to a country’s borders, is becoming outdated. Today, national security is no longer just about fighting battles on the front line; it now encompasses a much wider and more dynamic range. Conflicts can start anywhere in the country and spread to any part of enemy territory. The threats have evolved, and so must the strategies to address them.

At the core of this transformation is the integration of technology into security systems. With the rise and adoption of advanced tools—from drones, missiles, warplanes, and surveillance systems to cyber warfare capabilities—technology has become the defining element of modern conflict. In today’s security landscape, technology is not just an aid but a requirement, heavily influencing how nations prepare for, prevent, and respond to threats.

While external threats continue to demand attention, it is the internal aspects of national security that have gained significant importance in recent years. Internal security—maintaining peace, law, and order within the country—serves as the foundation of national stability. In this context, the role of police forces becomes critically important. Policing is no longer just about traditional law enforcement; it is increasingly being influenced by digital tools, data analytics, and scientific progress.
