I. Foreword

Study of crime statistics and subsequently crime mapping is a key component of crime analysis for a law
enforcement agency. It can lead to visualising crime incident patterns; identify crime hot spots, along with
other trends and patterns. Analysing patterns can not only serve as a crucial tool for law enforcement
officers to control crime and improved enforcement of law and order but it is also useful for law
enforcement authorities for efficient and effective management of their operations, such as allocating police
officers to various regions and departments, deployments during emergencies, etc. A deeper study of such
statistics will not only assist in better decisions, target resources, formulating strategies but also for tactical
analysis (e.g. crime forecasting). Law enforcement authorities in a number of developed countries have
adopted such scientific and modern approaches for enforcing law and order. However, India is still plagued
with antic police laws and draconian colonial acts; and a police force that has been neglected and ‘abused’
regularly by vested interests both within (by the establishment particularly political) and from outside.

In our Crime white paper released last November (2010), we had seen an increasing trend of crime in
Mumbai for the period of April 2009 to March2010. The latest data shows a continuation of the trend. What
makes us become more concerned is that from April 2008-March2009 to April 2010-March2011, crime has
been going up at a very alarming rate in certain cases: number of cases registered for Chain Snatching by
35% (from 1575 cases to 2134); House breaking by 24% (from 2731 cases to 3386); Riots by 38% (from 280
cases to 385); and Molestation by 47% (105 cases to 154).

What exactly is going wrong? Is it that the Mumbai Police, referred by some as second only to Scotland Yard,
becoming inefficient? Or does the answer lay elsewhere?

For a city with a population of 1.24 crores (Census, 2011), Mumbai has been sanctioned a police force of
41,271 officers, out of which currently only 33,287 are on duty, a gap of 19% (7984 officers). Further analysis
is more alarming: there is a gap of 2964 (gap of 14%) officers in the police stations; Traffic Police is short
staffed by 1633 officers (gap of 49%); and though as generally agreed that one the shortcomings during
26/11 was lack of coordination, still the police force in the Control Room is short by 132 officers (again a gap
of 49%).

It would require another study to determine whether the sanctioned strength of 41,271 forces is adequate
for 1.24 citizens (one officer per 300 citizens); however, given the fact that only 41,271 officers have been
sanctioned, why doesn’t Mumbai city get atleast those officers who are sanctioned? What are our leaders
waiting for before they act? Another 26/11? Well not maybe. There seems to be a strong possibility that
they never may have calculated and analysed the above numbers. If we want to make Mumbai a world class
city, then we should look at HOW THEY ARE MANAGED AND RUN. Our administrators MUST adopt a more
objective and professional outlook FOR MUMBAI TO BECOME A WORLD CLASS CITY.

14%.

Inferences:
The above data represents designation-wise number of police personnel sanctioned, (actually) working and
difference between sanction and working.

The data shows massive gap between sanctioned and working for Police Constable Typist (less by 99%) and
Police Constable Writer (less by 94%).

What is more alarming is the gap in the number of sanctioned & working Assistant Police Inspectors (API)
and sanctioned & working Police Sub Inspectors (PSI). The gap for API is 33%, while for PSI is 52%. These
officers play a very crucial role for enforcing law and order at the grassroots level. They are the ones who
investigate crime and are the backbone of enforcing law. Combined together the number of these officers is
less by 48%.

By far it can be said with even a cursory look at the crime data, that North Central Mumbai is the hotbed of
criminal activities with the maximum cases of crime in the three years (21,858 cases) and the region
registering maximum cases in the three years in Accidents/Fatal Accidents (1530 cases), Chain Snatching
(1183 cases), House Breaking (1864 cases), Vehicles Stolen (2758 cases) and Rape (103 cases). However, it
seems the MLAs from the region are the most oblivious about the worsening crime rate in their part of the
city as they have asked the least number of questions compared to the MLAs from other regions of the city.
