For effectively checking crimes, State police would be modernised with the provision of technically advanced systems and training of cops on latest systems, said Director General of Police Surendra Sinh during reviewing law and order situation meeting of Rewa and Shahdol divisions in Rewa on Thursday.
State’s top police further said that around 65 cities would soon have CCTV cameras which would be connected to police control room. Cyber crime cell would be strengthened and cyber police stations would be established in four major cities of the State. Around 3-4 police officials from every district would be trained on cyber crime investigation and the training would be organised in the State capital.
DGP Sinh during the review meeting informed that the movement of Naxalalites at adjoining areas of Uttar Pradesh and Chhattisgarh borders at the State border was witnessed and information on the same was received now. He said that companies of SAF had already been deployed and the strength of the police force had been increased in these areas.
He praised the way police force managed to excel in the work with the limited resources and encouraged that police should reach the people without waiting for the complainant to reach the police and lodge complaint. However along with praising the police he suggested of qualitative improvement for police which could help in developing a better image of police among the people.
Centralised system for 100 dial system at the State level would be established and around 1,000 dedicated vehicles would be assigned for the work. Records of criminals and finger prints would be digitised through CCTNS system. Ubiquitous presence of police would help in controlling of crime. Superintendent of Police should frequently visit police stations to meet the people and learn their complaints.
