Challenges Encountered by Police Officers During Crime Investigations

Abstract This study highlights the vital function of police officers involved in criminal investigations in maintaining the integrity of Indian society through effective law enforcement and fair justice. However, it identifies several obstacles that impede their efficiency, including heavy workloads, lack of adequate resources, shortage of officers, external pressures, and technological limitations, particularly when addressing serious crimes, cybercrimes, and offences involving cryptocurrency. These issues contribute to decreased morale among officers who investigate crimes and increase public distrust, especially amidst growing media scrutiny. Furthermore, the psychological strain of handling complex cases worsens these challenges. The study calls for comprehensive reforms to alleviate workloads, enhance the number of investigative officers, increase the sanctioned strength of police officers, improve resource allocation, integrate technology into investigations, and create a more efficient and culturally sensitive police system. Implementing these reforms is essential for strengthening investigative capabilities, adapting to the changing criminal landscape of the 21st century, and ensuring law enforcement's dedication to safeguarding the integrity of Indian society.
