			==Public perception==
			In general, police in India lack public trust and are not viewed as legitimate authorities.<ref name="Jauregui">{{cite journal \|last1=Jauregui \|first1=Beatrice \|title=Beatings, Beacons, and Big Men: Police Disempowerment and Delegitimation in India \|journal=Law & Social Inquiry \|date=2013 \|volume=38 \|issue=3 \|pages=643-69 \|url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/24545738 \|access-date=17 July 2021}}</ref> People generally do not go to the police for help if given the choice, and often specifically take pains to avoid them.<ref name="Jauregui"/> Oftentimes, when people do go to the police, it is "only for instrumental purposes, such as obtaining a [[First Information Report]] (FIR) as documentary evidence to be used to achieve some end".<ref name="Jauregui"/> People expect the police be unhelpful at best, and corrupt or brutal "little tyrants" at worst.<ref name="Jauregui"/> Former [[Union Home Minister]] [[P. Chidambaram]] characterised the police constable as "the most reviled public servant in India."<ref name="Jauregui"/> Even police officers themselves often lack faith in the institution, as illustrated by an [[apocryphal story]] popular among officers where "a self-styled 'honest cop'" asks a group of fellow officers if they would trust their coworkers to take care of a family member in trouble — to which none of them said yes.<ref name="Jauregui"/>

			Scholars usually tend to attribute the police's poor reputation in India to two main factors.<ref name="Jauregui"/> First, the police as an institution in India was first developed by the British as an instrument of control.<ref name="Jauregui"/> The [[1861 Police Act]], which remains "the institutional bedrock across the country", configured the police to focus less on public service and crime investigation, and more on "coercive order keeping and crowd pacification".<ref name="Jauregui"/> Second, the police in postcolonial India are affected by the same corruption and abuse of power that has plagued the government in general.<ref name="Jauregui"/> Police have historically been known to apply [[excessive force]], [[Police extortion\|extortion]], and arbitrary and often discriminatory use of authority.<ref name="Jauregui"/>
