My Greetings of Peace and Good life to all of you.
Kochi City Police has been in the forefront of involving the community
in day to day policing and also in modernizing the force, to provide
more effective service to the citizens. With this objective of bringing
policing down to the doorsteps of the public, the City police have
on one hand launched the multifarious programme of Janamaitri, to
introduce the concept of Community Policing, and on the other hand,
we have modernized the force on various fronts, to provide better
service delivery to the citizens. These steps have borne fruits
in the last three years, with the crime rate showing a considerable
decline. The emphasis is not on statistics alone, but on the public
perception on whether the police is more effective and responsive
to the needs of the public. On this front, the community policing
programmes, like Traffic monitor scheme, night watch scheme, Neighborhood
Watch Scheme, education schemes for the public, SUBHAYATRA, NAVODAYAM
etc. has brought about a sea change in the public perception, on
the effectiveness of the City police in providing a safe and secure
atmosphere for the citizens.
To cement this exercise, we have built a web interface for the public
through this website, so as to enable the public to know more about
the police. The citizens can put in their petitions, complaints,
information etc before the police through the web site, and this
has been proved to be a major hit in the last three years, with
a host of information and complaints being received through this
medium. We are in the process of becoming a active participant in
the social networking sites like Orkut, Twitter, Facebook etc also
so as to more accessible to the citizens. We sincerely thank you
for the support extended in all our endeavors and we hope that you
will continue to actively assist and partner the police to build
a crime free and secure city of Kochi.
