MARK OF HONOUR: Former sub-inspector A.D. Shivamurthy taking the salute during a march past held as part of Police Flag Day, in Shimoga on Monday.

SHIMOGA: The Police department should adopt sophisticated methods of investigation to track down those showing amazing intelligence in committing crimes, zilla panchayat Chief Executive Officer P. Bore Gowda has said.

He was presiding over a function organised on the occasion of the Police Flag Day at District Armed Reserve Grounds here on Monday.

There was need for police personnel to remain calm and composed as they were required to work under more tension and mental pressure than those of the other departments. He suggested that computer training be imparted to them right from the constabulary level.

Sale of flags

Superintendent of Police (in-charge) Siddhramappa said that Rs. 2.95 lakh had been collected through the sale of police flags during 2006-2007, of which Rs. 1,36,503 had been diverted to the Police Benevolent Fund.

The former sub-inspector A.D. Shivamurthy, who was the chief guest, took the salute at the march past held as part of the function.

As many as 34 police personnel were felicitated on the occasion.
