Prakasam: On the instructions of Prakasam District SP Mr. Siddharth Kaushal, IPS., Prakasam police strengthened regular night patrol in the district to prevent accidents and to eliminate the opportunity for mischief-makers. Patrol officers generally spend their time responding to emergency calls for service from the public, deterring crime through their presence, and carrying out special assignments from supervisors. The concept of general surveillance emphasizes a crime prevention focus through police visibility. The police said that our emphasis is on the role of patrol presence for immediate crime prevention purposes. It also helps in keeping tabs on anti-social elements.
