Background and Objective In 1956, with the birth of the State of Kerala, the Police forces of the British Malabar and Travancore Cochin State, were merged together to form the Kerala Police Department. Over the decades state wide law enforcement has been the responsibility of the force that has time and again performed its duties with alacrity. The 60,000-strong force performs various specialized tasks and duties that ensure the internal security and rights of every citizen in the State. Every major Police Force in the country has and outreach programme that aims at building both tangible and non-tangible bridges with the people. Various methodologies are adopted, among which perhaps the most impactful medium is that of a high-end illustrated book. The objective of the bringing this book is basically to showcase the role of the Police and the industry working together for bringing a sense of security in the minds of people and order in the society. This book will not be a book on security rather this will be a book dedicated to act a bridge between Community and the Police. The Kerala Police, more than another arm of Governance, has an umbilical cord linking it to the people. The entire cadre, both men and women, are drawn from within the state and they are the first responders at any given time in any crisis, be it manmade or natural. It is therefore imperative that every citizen in the State be aware on no just what is the Police and what it does, but also who and what they are, for they are in reality an extension of every individual, that the history of the force is also the history of the state virtually says it all. To achieve this objective, the State Police Chief, has provisionally honed in to undertake this task where the narrative needs to be told in a fortnight manner that is Page | 6 shorn of hyperbole. The provisionally nominated authors have in the past done similar work for the Indian Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the National Defence Academy, the Indian Military Academy and most importantly, the Assam Rifles which is a para-military force that has policed the Northeast for almost two countries. All these have been seminal path-breaking efforts that have not only set the bar, but have also been extremely successful in achieving the organisational aims as well. The authors are recognised to be one of the best in the business by far. The illustrated book on the Kerala Police will be on the same lines as what was done for the Assam Rifles. It is proposed to print 2,500 copies of the hard cover book with the intention of distributing it widely on multiple forums. This will act as a force multiplier for a book of this quality and class is expected to impact people from all walks of life. For this purpose, Kerala Police intends to hire an agency through online tender for preparation of Coffee Table Book on turnkey basis. Scope of Work- The Scope of work is divided in two parts. Agencies can apply for both parts or even one part, as per their competence. Part A- 3.1 A.
