Interestingly enough, Kerala Police seems to be in the limelight for all the good reasons... They have managed to strategically place our own Palakkad in the world map, and that too, for a prestegious reason.
It might interest you to know that the palakkad town south police station has been adjudged the best Police station in India in a survey done by the Netherlands based Altus Global, an accredited agency working for the UN...
That's not all folks, The palakkad town south police station has also been ranked as the second best police station in the whole of South East Asia, in a test conducted by the same agency! It seems they were tested in Professionalism, physical condition, community orientation, equal treatment of the general public, and transperancy and accountability in their detention centers... and guess what?? They emerged with a cool 85 marks out of 100, in these tests! Now, isn't that impressive?
The police, these days, especially after this rare honour, seems to be getting down from their high horses, to mingle with the common people on the road in an extremely friendly manner. They go to resedential colonies for this purpose, and meet the residents, giving them friendly tips to remain alert and ward off theft and other activities, and also request them to remain alert to what happens in their neighbourhood. Patrolling is done throughout the night, enhancing the security measures. The residents are encouraged to call in 100, the police help line, if they encounter any problems and they are also invited to the police station to get themselves familiar with the faces in the rouges gallery, so that they can inform the police if they spot them anyplace. The police station itself seems to have undergone a change, with the incorporation of a reception area and seperate sections for women, children, and the aged. This Policestation infact boasts of a library too! any takers for that???
Moreover, it seems 47 closed circuit cameras are going to be installed in prime localities, so that these places can be monitored closely 24 hours a day. One of them have already been installed in the IMA junction, a popular place for nefarious activities in the dark.
The town south police station, recognising the merits of education, is placing emphasis on enrolling educated policemen and women in their rolls, and it seems, the present sub inspector, Mr. Unnikrishnan, is actually a highly qualified computer engineer, who is enthusiastically into technology. Let us hope that his qualifications are utilised in the best possible manner...
