Police to send progress report on cases

By Our Staff Reporter

BANGALORE, JAN. 31. For greater transparency in policing, the Bangalore city police will start sending periodic progress reports to complainants on their cases under investigation, the Commissioner of Police, S. Mariswamy, has said.

Making a presentation on "The Vision" of the Bangalore city police at the Sixth Summit of the Bangalore Agenda Task Force (BATF) here on Saturday, Mr. Mariswamy said the police were making some systemic changes to ensure transparency.

He said that the city police wanted to be India's most professional, people-friendly, responsive, and efficient force.

As part of the human resource management plan, refresher training in skill and efficiency enhancement was being imparted to 13,000 policemen. Health check-up camps for police personnel were being organised. Handy utility kits would be provided to constables, he added.

Apart from computerising all the police stations in the city, the police were making extensive use of scientific aids in investigations, Mr. Mariswamy said.

The city police had networked all agencies for emergency medical service and trauma care. Improved safety for pedestrians and schoolchildren, and local area traffic management initiatives were top on the agenda of the city police, Mr. Mariswamy said.
