Despite community policing and technological advances, comprehensive reform faces resistance from entrenched interests and a culture of impunity. Supreme Court directives have yielded uneven compliance, with some states innovating while others lagging. This paper highlights the need for a new policing model balancing security with accountability, moving beyond colonial foundations towards democratic policing.- Reproduced
