The initiatives reportedly taken by Delhi Police to make the police force people-friendly include the following:
'Police Mitra' initiative has been launched to involve members of civil society in prevention of crime, maintenance of law and order and for better communication with citizens as a whole.
"Jan Sampark" initiative has been put in place to enhance the reach of Delhi Police, to build confidence among citizens and to design a mechanism for timely redressal of public grievances. Senior officers of Delhi Police visit their areas on a pre-decided time and hear public grievances at neutral venues like auditoriums, schools, public parks, etc. During the year 2016 (up to 30th September), a total of 3186 such programmes were held, 51887 complaints were attended and 10273 grievances were redressed.
Under 'Yuva' initiative, workshops, sports activities and vocational trainings etc, were organized to channelise the energy of young adults and children from the under privileged sections of the society to make them productive members of the society and to prevent them from moving towards crime and drugs at an early age.
Grassroots level officers of Delhi Police have been instructed to hold meaningful dialogue with all sections of the society.
Officials of Delhi Police have been sensitized to be sensitive and courteous to people in day to day dealing.
This was stated by the Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri Hansraj Gangaram Ahir in written reply to a question by Shri Neeraj Shekhar in the Rajya Sabha today.
