The Indian Police Foundation is a response to the groundswell of public demand for an efficient, accountable and people-centric police that functions impartially, respects human dignity and human rights and steadfastly upholds the Rule of Law in all situations.
The Foundation believes that a robust Criminal Justice System supported by a professional police force should be an important pillar of the idea of a resurgent and modern India.
The Indian Police Foundation is led by an eminent, multi-disciplinary Board, which is responsible for the governance of the Society, providing visionary leadership and providing strategic guidance to its policies, as well as interfacing with government agencies and leading the policy advocacy.
Prakash Singh, a former IPS officer and former first Chairman of the Foundation is well known for his persistent and crusading efforts aimed at police reform.
Indian Police Foundation and Institute was inaugurated on 21 October 2015 by United Home Minister Rajnath Singh.
