Work like cops 24x7: CBI director to young officers

Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) director Praveen Sood told the young officers of the premier investigative agency that they are expected to work like police officers 24×7 with impeccable conduct without fingers being raised.

The CBI director’s comments came during the passing-out parade of 57 Sub-Inspectors (29^th Batch) of the agency which was held at CBI Academy in Ghaziabad in Uttar Pradesh.

The batch consists of 57 officers from diverse academic backgrounds including —25 with Bachelor of Arts degrees, 8 with Bachelor of Commerce, 12 with Bachelor of Science, 2 with Bachelor of Technology, 1 with Bachelor of Computer Application, 8 with Master of Arts, and 1 with Master of Commerce.

Referring to the composition of officers, Sood expressed satisfaction that the batch had the highest number of lady officers.

“From working as ministerial staff in CBI to now qualifying as police officers, brings a big change in these officers,” Sood said.

Calling for always remaining hungry for knowledge, the CBI director asked his young personnel to “never shy away from asking questions from seniors” in their quest for knowledge and skill-upgradation.

The CBI, he emphasised, has a zero-tolerance policy to any aberration and underlined that mistake done to obtain benefit or harm someone would not be pardoned.
