To streamline the police control room (PCR) services in the twin city, the Commissionerate Police will introduce Delhi-type PCR service soon.
This was informed by DGP Prakash Mishra while speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the passing-out parade of the 20th batch of the Odisha Auxiliary Police Force (OAPF) recruit constables here
on Saturday. “The Commissioner will soon visit Delhi to study their PCR service system, and after a detailed report it will be introduced in the twin city in an organised way,” said Mishra.”Our priority is now to instal CCTVs at strategic locations in the capital city, besides upgrading the PCT service,” he said.
After six months of training at the Urban Police and Traffic Training Institute here, as many as 490 OAPF passed out from the centre at the parade. Out of them, a total of 381 will be posted as regular constables in the twin city.
Addressing the recruits DGP Mishra hoped that they would discharge their duties in protecting the State with all honesty and sincerity. These constables have been taught to handle bomb disposal cases, drill, scientific related training, weapon handling, map reading, karate, battle craft, field craft, internal security, border security and disaster management, besides training on IPCs and CrPCs,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Training) Sarat Chandra Bisoyi. All the 490 recruits belong to Scheduled Tribes.
