Research and Development Sections: A new concept
The concept establishing ‘Research and Development Sections’ at departmental and regional level was emerged by the initiation of Research and Development Directorate primarily to build a quick network to facilitate research and planning activities of Nepal Police. At this time, 14 R&D Sections have been established in departmental and regional levels. Now the Research and Development sections exist in Office of the IGP, Administration Department, Human Resource Development Department, Crime Investigation Department, Operation Department, Nepal Police Academy, Police Hospital, Metropolitan Police Commissioner's Office, Central Investigation Bureau and in five Regional Police Offices. These Sections carry following functions:
- Prepare office profile and update on monthly basis.
- Receive monthly action plans from the concerned offices, report to the office in-charge and dispatch to the R&D Directorate.
- Maintain the organizational research database.
- Study the relevancy of job description and police personnel deployed in their concerned AoR.
- Conduct research and studies on the relevant issues of police service delivery, police conduct and organizational mechanism and disseminate research findings.
- Regular reporting to office in-charge about the findings and activities being carried out.
