In an era of rapid change and global interconnectedness, law enforcement faces unprecedented challenges, from traditional crimes to new threats like cybercrime and terrorism. *Behind the Badge* examines the evolving landscape of global policing, with a focus on how both developed and developing nations, particularly India, navigate these complexities. The book explores police administration, the role of technology, including AI, and its societal impact. Aimed at both police leaders and the general public, it seeks to raise awareness of the Indian police’s work, leadership, and sacrifices, addressing the public’s limited understanding and empathy toward their efforts.
