The course will help sub-inspectors in handling cases, says R. Rajaram Investigating a case is by no means an easy task for law-enforcers, especially when clues are hard to come by. Their ability is put to test every time they take up the task of probing a case. Cracking a case quickly requires sharp investigation skills on the part of the personnel. An inadvertent mistake during the course of investigation could take the very dimension off track. While there have been instances of quick detections, on the fl ip side are cases that have remained undetected for a long time for want of credible leads, inputs and evidence. With a view to honing the investigating skills of their field level officers, the top echelons of the police have now embarked on the task of conducting a comprehensive refresher course exclusively for the Sub Inspectors of Police serving in various districts in Tiruchi Range and Tiruchi City. Around 100 Sub Inspectors are to be covered in three batches with the refresher course having commenced for the first batch a few days ago. The myriad of subjects covered under the comprehensive course conform to the day-to-day schedule of the Sub Inspectors, the ‘first officer’ of the police force dealing with public complaints. Being field-level officers, it is the Sub Inspectors who accept petitions and complaints from the aggrieved complaints at the police station. Further, it is the Sub Inspectors who directly interact with the public dealing with the ground-level problems, say authorities. The course is aimed at updating their knowledge on policing and aspects connected with it so that they are well equipped to tackle every case with confidence, says a senior police officer. The course is being conducted on the instructions of the Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) K. Vijayakumar. The exhaustive course starts right from the approach to investigate a case; probing cases of unnatural death; differentiation of a homicide and a suicide case; use of scientific aids in investigation; the ways to write a Case Diary and First Information Report properly; security proceedings; investigation of human rights and hurt cases; Indian Penal Code and Criminal Procedure Code sections; laws relating to preventive detention; and lifting and packing of samples from the scene of crime. The officers are also advised to desist from having a pre-conceived notion about a case. They are also advised to allow witnesses to speak freely at the scene of crime, and not to miss any minor things at the scene of crime during their search for vital clues. Since the actions of sub-inspectors have a direct bearing on the image of the entire force, the exercise also covers police-public relationship, image building and stress management, say authorities.
