In order to further expand the Punjab Police\u2019s public outreach program \u2018Sehyog\u2019 at grassroot level, Commissioners of Police (CPs) and Senior Superintendents of Police (SSPs) will visit villages and mohallas to hold public meetings, gathering firsthand feedback from locals. This initiative aims to bridge the gap between police and public.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn second phase, we have issued directions CPs\/SSPs to visit villages and mohallas to hold public meetings. This approach will help authorities understand ground-level situations and foster a stronger police-public relationship,\u201d said Director General of Police (DGP) Punjab Gaurav Yadav here on Friday.<\/p>\n

The move comes amidst DGP Punjab\u2019s ongoing ground-zero tours to improve community ties and gather feedback from people on their experiences with the police. The DGP was addressing a district level public meeting organised by the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police as part of their \u201cSehyog\u2014 A Police-Public Partnership Initiative\u201d program.<\/p>\n

DGP Gaurav Yadav, during an informal interaction with the people from different walks of life, has taken firsthand feedback from them on city\u2019s law and order situation. He assured to resolve majority of their issues. The DGP was accompanied by Commissioner of Police (CP) Jalandhar Swapan Sharma.<\/p>\n

He assured the gathering that in coming few months, the Jalandhar city will get an effective manpower as the Punjab Government has announced to create as many as 10,000 new posts in the Police department. Meantime, he directed CP Jalandhar to pull out force from other heads and double the strength in the traffic wing to smoothen the traffic movement in the city.<\/p>\n

On cyber frauds, the DGP asked the gathering to make maximum use of the \u2018Golden Hour\u2019 to immediately report the crime at \u20181930 Cyber Helpline\u2019 number, which will help in quickly freezing\/lien marking funds moved out of victims\u2019 accounts by cyber fraudsters.<\/p>\n

Later, DGP Gaurav Yadav also visited the futuristic Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), a first-of-its-kind initiative by the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police having the access to at least 6000 CCTV cameras installed in the city.<\/p>\n

Terming technology as the \u201cforce multiplier\u201d, he said that by equipping the Punjab Police with modern technology they are focusing on preventive policing.<\/p>\n

Pertinently, the ICCC combines Traffic and Police Control Room (PCR) units to enhance public safety and efficiency. It has yielded impressive results with the PCR response time has significantly decreased from 15 minutes to just 5 minutes. This centre also\u00a0 helped in improving coordination between agencies, increasing efficiency, data-driven decision-making, and a single-point reporting system for citizens.<\/p>\n

Interacting with the media on the sidelines of the event, DGP Gaurav Yadav said that since the newly introduced law Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) made it mandatory to record the video of the crime scene in case of offences made punishable with seven years or more, Punjab Police are focusing on recording videos using E-Sakshya mobile App.<\/p>\n

Police teams have recorded videos in as many as 9171 cases, he said, while adding that approximately 70 percent of the total video recordings are being done via E-Sakshya mobile App.<\/p>\n

The DGP that the PGD portal\u2014 an online Public Grievances Redressal system\u2014 launched by the Punjab Police has been receiving an overwhelming response since its launch in July 2022. He said that till now the portal has received at least 4.5 lakh complaints, of which, 4.10 complaints have been disposed-off successfully. The PGD portal \u201cwww.pgd.punjabpolice.gov.in\u201d empowers citizens to submit their complaint online without even going to the police station.<\/p>\n

DGP Gaurav Yadav has also reinforced the Punjab Police\u2019s zero-tolerance policy towards corrupt officials, also known as \u201cblack sheep,\u201d within the department. \u201cPunjab Police is the only department where anyone indulging in wrongful activities will have to face the law,\u201d he emphasised.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the DGP also inaugurated the newly constructed Gazetted Officers\u2019 Mess at Police Lines, Jalandhar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
