Training programme for Government Railway Police throws light on new techniques, writes R. Rajaram
Expertise: Railway Police personnel at the training programme.
The ongoing refresher training course for field level personnel of Government Railway Police, Tiruchi district, is an effort at updating their knowledge and enhance their proficiency in crime investigation and matters connected with security. Topics for the interactive sessions were carefully chosen to conform to the activities pertaining to the day-to-day schedule of field-level GRP personnel from the rank of constable up to inspector. The course will be conducted in batches over the next few months to cover around 500 GRP personnel. Training for a first batch of 30 persons for five days is over and the session for the second batch is slated for Monday. Besides serving officers, the authorities have also enlisted the services of retired police officers, advocates and government doctors to throw light on their respective subjects. According to the authorities, given the huge limits of each Railway Police station coming under the Tiruchi district, investigation of crimes is a real challenge. The jurisdiction starts from Villupuram and extends south up to Kanyakumari covering Tiruchi and Madurai railway divisions and a part of Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad divisions. Majority of the property-related cases reported are related to baggage lifting. Fixing the actual scene-of-crime becomes difficult, if the crime were to happen aboard trains, say field level personnel. The modus operandi adopted by the criminals operating in railway stations and on trains is different from the practices of other anti-social elements, say railway police officers. Suspicious death being yet another case frequently reported, the men are explained about the ways to differentiate between a purely accidental, suicide and murder cases. With railway stations being easy strike-targets, stress has been given on anti-sabotage checks. The regular updates on anti-sabotage from the police headquarters are also conveyed to the participants. Stress management
Not limiting with policing issues alone, there is a session on stress management wherein the ways to overcome stress and courteous behaviour towards the approaching public are emphasised. It is an effort to update the knowledge of the policemen as they happen to be the cutting edge of the force, says the Superintendent of Police, GRP, G. Karthikeyan.
