The police department is following the old British system of suppression of the people's movements. We had achieved independence , but still the common man is treated as a second class citizen.
The powerful are using the police force to suit their needs.
Is the police force be made independent like the military?
Is the police force be manned by educated , good background , students and ex-military persons?
Is the salary in these defence services be increased to attract the best and reduce corruption?
Are the rules and regulations be reframed to be more people friendly?
Are the different governments in power doing enough towards this direction?

No.
It is very difficult to change.
Good persons are out of police.
Strong but uneducted are in police. They are lathmaar.

No, police departments are NOT following the "old British system of suppression of the people's movements." This is absurd.
Police forces are "independent" in that they are not subject to direct state or federal controls, and have to answer to local authorities. I do not know who these mysterious "powerful" folks are, but they do not control the local police.
Who staffs your local department might vary. One larger agency I used to work with in southern California was staffed with a LOT of formerly active duty Marines. The one I work for now has very few former military. How well educated the officers are again depends on location, agency needs and requirements, and salary. Convincing a good officer with a college degree to come to work for an agency paying $30,000 per year is tough. Those agencies generally have to settle for less formal education. However, any agency worth it's salt will not lower the bar for the background qualities of an applicant for the position of officer or deputy.
Salary is generally not the source of corruption - poor character is. If an officer (or anyone, for that matter) is prone to lie, cheat and steal, then his or her income is not generally going to play THAT major a role.
As far as being "people friendly", I have no idea what you mean by that. Local law enforcement is responsible to local leadership. If the local citizenry want a kinder, gentler police force, they can compel the local government and the local law enforcement agencies to do this. However, kindness is not a measure of effectiveness. I would rather have hard and fair officers than friendly ones that cut everyone a break as they smile.

Wow. Where do YOU live? I have to say that while I am not fond of the south Texas climate, I think San Antonio has the BEST police department around. You ought to come down here for a visit and see. They are very friendly to everyone... ok, well unless you're screwin' around on the wrong side of the law... I've lived in this city for over 30 years (excluding college and travel), and I've seen a lot of problems come and go in this city... but we've always had a really great, people-friendly police force...
