Newly posted IGP, Bhopal zone, Jaydeep Prasad on Tuesday said police personnel require sensitisation in handling the serious offences like sexual assault and gang-rape cases.
As it is State capital, there would be new challenges to face every day; awareness of the people has increased this leads to higher level of expectation and to meet them is a challenge, Prasad told the media persons.
He further said in the present scenario, one area which requires utmost attention is police sensitisation which has to be addressed with gravity.
Apart from other crimes the cyber crime is fastest growing area of concern as latest technology is used widely to commit crime and skill to tackle the tricks in the need of the hour.
He claimed that capacity building and supervision are two most important things which would be enhanced and nothing would be left to create untoward incidents.
Replying to a query on stress police force due to hectic and reckless working schedule, IG Prasad said that it is true that rest is required but at times the requirement of the duty gives less space.
He stated that stress management, health management and fitness during working hours would be used to make the policemen working without stress.
Non-core things as corporate and other Government departments could be outsourced to lessen the burden, he said, adding that the most important area which requires attention is crimes against women, which not only require strict action against the miscreants but also sensitization of police personnel and official.
The frequent offences reported daily have to be addressed as these lead to major offences, he said.
