Recognizing Excellence: Introducing Police Station Rankings
Governor Kataria held a comprehensive meeting at Raj Bhavan, where he was joined by Additional Chief Secretary Home and Political, Niraj Verma, and other senior officials, including Director General of Police (DGP) G.P. Singh.
During the meeting, DGP G.P. Singh presented an overview of the initiatives and schemes being undertaken by Assam Police to maintain law and order while fostering the state's development. A key highlight of the discussion was the introduction of a ranking system for police stations based on their performance in safeguarding the lives and properties of Assam's citizens.
Governor Kataria firmly endorsed the concept, suggesting that this ranking system would serve as a powerful incentive for police personnel to dedicate themselves to their duties even more passionately. He further recommended extending the ranking system to include Superintendents of Police (SPs) at the district level. To ensure fairness and effectiveness, he urged the development of clear performance parameters for assessing the performance of SPs and police stations.
The introduction of such rankings, Governor Kataria believes, will not only recognize the exemplary work of police personnel but also inspire others to excel in their roles and serve the community with renewed dedication.
In another innovative proposal, the Governor recommended deploying at least one Mobile Forensic Laboratory in each district. This strategic move aims to streamline the collection of evidence from crime scenes, facilitating faster case resolution and delivering justice promptly to the people. Additionally, the Governor suggested establishing departments of forensic studies in select universities to provide training and foster the growth of forensic science within the state.
Governor Kataria emphasized the importance of physical fitness among police personnel and officers at the field level. To promote health and motivation, he proposed regular fitness camps. These camps would not only keep the police force physically fit but also enhance their morale and readiness.
These visionary proposals put forth by Governor Kataria reflect his commitment to improving the effectiveness and efficiency of Assam's police force. By recognizing and rewarding outstanding performance, streamlining evidence collection, and promoting fitness and training, these initiatives aim to create a more responsive and capable law enforcement system in the state. As these measures take shape, they are expected to set new standards and inspire a culture of diligence and excellence within the police force.
