Haryana’s Director General of Police (DGP), Shatrujeet Kapur, attended the convocation parade of Recruit Batch No. 90 at the Haryana Police Academy, Madhuban, as the chief guest today, where he took the salute.
During this convocation parade, 988 recruits took the oath of duty and dedicated themselves to public service. Welcoming the chief guest, Academy Director Dr. C.S. Rao provided essential information about the training given to the batch.
Addressing the recruits, DGP Shatrujeet Kapur emphasized that the police represent the face of law and order in society and should interact with citizens with empathy and sensitivity. He remarked that joining the police force is not just a profession but a call to serve with integrity, courage, and compassion.
“You are embarking on a noble journey of public service, carrying the trust and hopes of the citizens. You will face challenges that will test your resolve and character. It is through your good deeds and courageous decisions that the public’s faith in the Haryana Police will be strengthened,” he said.
