ITANAGAR, Nov 10: Home Minister Bamang Felix on Tuesday asserted that the Arunachal Pradesh Police (APP) has the potential to be the best police force in the entire country if the gap between the efficiency of the police personnel and facilities they are provided with is bridged.

Issues related to policing, police modernisation, and its welfare, etc., were reviewed and discussed at the conference. 
Lauding the efforts of the police in maintaining law and order situation and containment of crimes in the state, Felix said that the fact that APP’s improved ranking from 8th to 5th among the best hilly state police force, despite shortages of facilities, displays its high potential to be the best.
