MORALE BOOSTER: Inspector General of Police (North Zone) K.Radhakrishnan speaking at the training programme for police personnel at Annamalai University, Chidambaram, on Thursday. Superintendents of Police Pradip Kumar and K.Periaiah and Registrar M.Rathinasabapathi are in the picture.
CUDDALORE: Inspector General of Police (North Zone) K. Radhakrishnan has engaged a private concern to bring about a change in the image of the police force. There is no dearth of skills and knowledge among the personnel, but their image has taken a beating owing to their lack of concern for certain niceties while dealing with the public, particularly the law-abiding citizens who seek their help, he told The Hindu after inaugurating a training session for sub-inspectors, inspectors and Deputy Superintendents of Police here at Annamalai University in Chidambaram on Thursday. He said the training, being conducted by Aspire Scholars League India Pvt Ltd, would help to bring about an attitudinal change among the officers. It was part of the Police Image Project launched across the State at the behest of the Director-General of Police. Humane angle
It was aimed at imparting the humane angle in the day-to-day working of the police and at enhancing their image in the public eye. Mr. Radhakrishnan said that while conducting an inquiry, or making arrests, or keeping the persons in detention, the personnel should act with sagacity, and without hurting the feelings of the people. The police had a tough job dealing with fundamental, casteist, chauvinistic and divisive forces. Yet, they should maintain a modicum of humaneness. The training would cover 1,300 officers in the northern zone that comprises Vellore, Thiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram, Thiruvallur, Cuddalore and Villupuram districts. Already 900 officers in Vellore, Thiruvannamalai, Kancheepuram and Thiruvallur underwent the training, and the remaining officers would be covered in the next three weeks. The feedback was quite encouraging. R. Sankar, a resource person, said the firm had conducted such a programme for the personnel in Coimbatore after the 1998 serial bomb blasts.
