A Quotient of Power

A quotient of power vests in the very word,"police." Hence, some officers with an intent to kill the concept of FOP recommended that the word," police" should not be used to designate such volunteers. But,what they fail to see with typical narrowmindedness and shortsightedness in such a pernicious recommendation is that with the empowerment that ordinary people get by such a designation, the nation itself is empowered to better combat the fissiparous forces of Naxalism, terrorism, militancy and the like. People once empowered as FOP are willing to break rank with their own community to assist the security forces.
