We have world class sports infrastructure also. Most significant is the fact that we have been fortunate to serve a vibrant, progressive and We in the Kerala Police believe that we are one of the finest Police forces in the country. socially advanced population which strongly understands and believes that in a democracy, the Why do we think so? unstinted cooperation of the public is integral to public safety. Little wonder that organisations like Common Cause, and media houses like Today have consistently recognised us as the Most importantly, with over 5 lakh First Information Reports (FIRs) in a year, Kerala Police registers Best Performing Police Force in the country. the highest number of crimes in the country, contributing to 15% of the national share of recorded crimes. Having to cater to less than 3% of India’s population, this clearly indicates that the force During the next year, we propose to build on our strengths, learn from our failures, and continually has effectively ensured that no crime is burked. challenge ourselves in the task of ensuring public safety. Given our innate strengths, our industry, social commitment, and a futuristic vision, I am sure that 2020 will see many more laurels come Of the 7.5 lakh persons who were charge sheeted for various offences in 2016, fewer than 53,000 our way. persons were acquitted or discharged after trial, giving us a conviction rate that is far superior to our peers. It is 98%. This indicates that not only do we register every instance of crime, but also We are publishing this book “Police & Community – Activity Report – 2019” humbly showcasing our that we investigate and prosecute fairly and professionally. Efforts, Activities & Community interface in 2019. Being conscious of the challenges of transforming Policing to suit the needs of a modern democratic society, we have constantly reinvented ourselves. We are proud to offer an array of Jai Hind. Social Policing Programmes, each carefully crafted to meet the diverse needs of various strata of society. All Police Stations in Kerala function as “Service Delivery Centres” under the Janamaithri Loknath Behera IPS (Community Policing) programme. We have introduced Women Help Desks, Reception Desks, Police Headquarters DGP/State Police Chief Public Relation Officers, Sentry/ Guards with pistols in all Police Stations before any other Police Kerala force in the country. Our Child Friendly Police Stations have been rated the best by the UNICEF. We have all Women Police managed Hi-Tech “Pink Patrols” fully manned by Women Police Officials for the safety of women. The Student Police Cadet Programme, and a host of other programmes ensure that our next generation is protected and nurtured. Over time, we have successfully given up the vestiges of colonial rule. The Kerala Police Act, 2011, the modern Station Security Guard System, and the recently revamped Mob Operation Drills are a few significant measures in this regard. We have distinctly separated Investigation from Law & Order in 90% of Police Stations. Kerala Police has a long tradition of being technology driven. We started this process over ten years ago by ensuring Internet connectivity at all Police Stations (first in India), and training all the Police personnel on the basics of computers. Subsequently, we built the Cyberdome in three cities, Cyber Crime Police Stations in each range, Hi-Tech Cell at the State level and Cyber Cells in all district centres, which are now the pillars on which this IT infrastructure is built. We have used technology in every sphere of activity. We have brought in the first humanoid Robot. We have the much acclaimed Cyber Domes and we will shortly commence a state-of-the-art Cyber Security and Investigation Division, for the State. We also believe that effective training is an essential ingredient of the improvement process. Towards this end, we have revised both the content as well as the methodology of Police Training. For instance, in the first fifteen days of training, we focus purely on reorienting our trainees and providing them with the human skill sets required for a good Police Officer. The E-Academy, which takes electronic learning to the next level, and multiple scientific advancements in training are significant aspects of this model.
