The Home Minister stressed for better coordination between the State Police and other Central agencies and urged the delegates for timely implementations of suggestions discussed during the Conference. He emphasised on the need to focus on security-related issues including coastal security, Left Wing Extremism, Narcotics Trafficking, Cyber-crime and Border Area Management. He hailed the Hybrid format of Conference as directed by the Prime Minister and observed that this will help in better dissemination and percolation of suggestions at the cutting edge level.

Deliberations were held on a wide range of Internal Security issues, including Prison reforms, challenges posed by radicalisation and police training. A presentation by NATGRID was also made during the conference. The focus of the presentations was to highlight the challenges and suggest roadmaps for overcoming the same.

Since 2014, the DGsP/IGsP Conference has been held in various parts of the country. The Hon'ble Prime Minister and Hon'ble Home Minister have been regularly attending these conferences being held outside Delhi. The format of the conference has undergone significant changes over the years in terms of duration as well as the mode of conducting the same. In the run-up to the Conference, various core groups consisting of DGsP of different States were formed for holding discussions on key aspects of internal security. This year, for the first time over 200 officers of different seniorities from various States/UTs were also requested to submit papers on contemporary security issues being deliberated in the conference.
