CHENNAI: The Third Police Commission, set up to go into policing and police welfare in Tamil Nadu, expects to submit its report to the Government in August, to its Chairman R.Poornalingam has said. He told a press conference here on Wednesday that besides Chennai, the Commission would hold meetings with officials and the public at Coimbatore, Tiruchirappalli, Madurai and Vellore. The visits would be made in the next two or three months. The Commission, which has its office at the Police Training College, Ashok Nagar here, has received a total of 15 letters, including e-mails. It has written to various organisations seeking their response. "The ultimate aim is that police service should improve in quality and in content," Mr. Poornalingam said. Questionnaires meant for the public and the police had been prepared. The Commission had an interaction with Director-General of Police D.Mukherjee and other senior officers. Answering questions, Mr. Poornalingam said the Commission would examine why some of the recommendations of earlier Commissions could not be implemented. It would consider whether the suggestions were still relevant. If so, it would reiterate them. Presspersons drew his attention to the way the general public were treated at police stations, how complainants were being driven from pillar to post for lodging complaints and to the non-furnishing of copies of FIRs to complainants, particularly in crime cases. The questions for the public include how they rate their experiences with the police and suggestions for improvement; whether they have any suggestion on the procedure for returning stolen property pending disposal of the court case; what crime prevention measures they would suggest; what could be done on the engineering, enforcement and education fronts to reduce road accidents; what steps they would suggest to enhance police image; and what steps could be taken to curtail corruption at various levels. The public could interact with the Commission after fixing up an appointment on phone no: 2371 0896. Suggestions may be sent by post, or by email to polcom@tn.nic.in.
