The Commission submitted 8 reports during the period February, 1979 to May, 1981. The Commission made recommendations on recruitment, training, career planning and duties/powers of police, redressal of grievances of police personnel, modernisation of police, welfare programmes including police housing, pay structure, tenures of police heads, replacement of Police Act etc.
