In its “glorious journey of 16 years”, the Commissionerate police have grown substantially. Today, as many as 52 police stations are functioning under it, said Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik at a function here on Tuesday on occasion of the 16th Raising Day of the Twin City Commissionerate police.
Patnaik said he was delighted to inaugurate the “Unified Command and Control Centre” and launch “e- Abedan” App on the occasion. This would make the organisation more robust and help the police become more people-friendly.
“I have always emphasised on citizen-centric and citizen-friendly policing. Over last several years, the Commissionerate police has taken up a number of drives to connect to several vulnerable sections of society including slum dwellers, senior citizens and children,” he said.
“It has also taken up initiative for spreading cyber crime awareness in educational institutions. Security of women is a top priority of my government. The police must work towards creating confidence among victims by taking a sensible and empathetic approach,” the CM said.
“I am glad to learn that Commissionerate police have done an excellent job in achieving significant increase in conviction rate last year. I am happy that feedbacks on implementation of 5T have been quite good. I will be very happy if the experience of visitors to police stations is improved further” he said.
“I also desire that more technological interventions be introduced to enhance the effectiveness. I hope the Commissionerate police will rise to new challenges to create a sense of security among the citizens and improve its capacity to become a model for the country,” said Patnaik.
