Srikakulam: Under the directive of District SP Mrs. G. R. Radhika IPS, the Srikakulam District Police are undertaking comprehensive measures to enhance night-time security and crime prevention. The new strategy involves rigorous night patrols, thorough vehicle inspections, and meticulous verification of vehicle records and passenger information. This is aimed at identifying and mitigating potential criminal activities.
Key actions include:
Intensified Night Patrolling: Police units are now mandated to patrol more frequently during the night, covering both urban and rural areas to maintain a visible presence and deter criminal behavior.
Vehicle Inspections: As part of their patrolling duties, officers are instructed to stop vehicles for inspection. This involves checking vehicle registration documents, licenses, and ensuring compliance with traffic laws.
Passenger Verification: Officers are required to collect and verify the details of passengers. This includes checking identification documents and questioning individuals to identify and record any suspicious behavior.
Monitoring of Temporary Residents: Detailed checks are conducted on new arrivals staying overnight in dormitories, lodges, and similar accommodations. The goal is to keep a record of these individuals and detect any unusual or illegal activities early.
Beat Point Inspections: Beat Inspection Officers are tasked with visiting every designated beat point in their jurisdiction. They must ensure these points are secure and report any irregularities immediately.
Community Coordination: Officers are directed to engage with staff at sensitive locations such as temples, ATMs, and business complexes. They must inform and train these individuals to remain vigilant and report suspicious activities.
Armed Patrols: To enhance deterrence, armed patrols are being deployed in strategic locations. These patrols are equipped to respond quickly and effectively to any criminal incidents.
These measures are designed to create a robust security environment in Srikakulam, aiming to prevent crime and protect the community by ensuring constant vigilance and swift action.
