Pursuit of Law and Order by A.P Durai-An all revealing,bold and frank autobiography of an honest cop

Aug. 31, 2015 - PRLog -- NotionPress is delighted to bring to light yet another upcoming author – A P Durai  and his book Pursuit of Law and Order

This book is an unusual, bold and frank autobiography of A.P. Durai, a seasoned officer of the Indian Police Service, well known for his integrity, professionalism and courage to stand up to the consequent challenges and persecution. His independent and value - oriented approach to his work brought, in its wake, opposition from within the department and, inevitably, the politicians. How he mastered these challenges with faith and courage, and utilized them as opportunities to develop himself into an effective, creative and innovative police leader is the theme of the book. Midway through his career, he discovered that bringing about ‘law and order’ within oneself was a prerequisite for one’s role as a police officer. His pursuit of this inner search and training under a Spiritual Master had a significant impact on his professional values and performance.

Notion Press has been the backbone of many authors’ growth by providing them with its unique Author Incubation Program, which provides them with the right platform to get published and to sell their books in the market. It has been acknowledged by many as a very helpful means to showcase their talent in this challenging field of books and publishing.

Sprinkled with tales of his struggles with politicians and jealous colleagues, and of frequent transfers and humiliations, this autobiography announces the triumph of the human spirit imbued with the ideals of public service and professionalism. The book, therefore, would be a source of inspiration to all public servants involved in the governance of the country. One cannot but miss the note of caution to scheming politicians, ambitious police officers and bureaucrats that the pay back awaits them in the shape of Karmic consequences.

As Durai raced through the positions he held in Karnataka police, in Indian Oil Corporation, as Director of the SVP National Police Academy, Hyderabad, and as Director General of Police of Karnataka and finally, as Director General, Railway Protection Force, New Delhi, he left behind him many reforms and a new spirit of optimism and public service in the forces that he commanded.

Shri Durai’s strong commitment to values in public life, and his willingness to cheerfully pay the price for them, send out the ringing message that the honest man has nothing to lose, but everything to gain.

“That A.P Durai is a courageous and extremely honest officer is known to all his batch mates and to the administrative and police officers in his state as well. His ethical standards and moral values are anchored in his deep faith in God and as such he is incapable of compromising with any moral deviation and slackness in service ethics. When he took over as the Director of the National Police Academy, he found the institution turning out clever negotiators, manipulating situations by the policy of give and take and not fearless and disciplined Police leaders who could face the situation with courage and firmness and deal with scheming people with bold straightforwardness. He soon reversed the trend by making trainees intelligent police leaders and not police intellectuals. It is, therefore, expected that his book will be an interesting reading. Given his excellent penmanship, readers will find it difficult to put down the book half-finished.”
