Apart from this, it has been organized in Pune in 2019, BSF Academy in Tekanpur in 2017, National Police Academy in Hyderabad in 2016, Rann of Kutch in 2015, and Guwahati in 2014.
Tell that till 2013 the annual meeting of this conference was held in Delhi. When the Modi government came to power in 2014, the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Intelligence Bureau decided to organize the event outside the capital.
Since 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been taking a keen interest in the conference of DGPs and IGPs. Before the Modi government, discussions largely focused only on matters of national security. An official said that since 2014, these conferences mainly focused on issues like national security as well as crime control and identification of criminals, community policing, law and order, and improving the image of the police.
