One solution that addresses two problems

Everything has two dimensions- the quantitative dimension and the qualitative dimension. Talking about life, the quantitative dimension is how long one lives or the issue of longevity ; the qualitative dimension is how well one has lived- the issue of how happy he/she is and how happy he/ she has made others. The quantitative dimension is about how much income a man earns; the qualitative dimension is how well has he earned it and how well is he spending or saving it. FOP is a 142 solution in this sense that it resolves the quantitative problem of numbers, of inadequate police personnel for a given population. It also addresses the qualitative problem of motivation and morale of the police personnel, the commitment of the citizenry to good quality life and good quality policing, the ground support for the police, the empathy of the public with the difficulties of the police, the flow of information, intelligence and goodwill towards the police. The UHM had raised the issue of both the quantitative problem facing the police of inadequate police-public ratio given the spectrum of problems facing the country and the security forces. He had also raised the qualitative problem of insufficient motivation and training. FOP can make a contribution to resolving both questions cost effectively.
