Police village beat system to be revived

Published On : 08 Mar 2017


Mangaluru: In a move to bring the police close to the people, Mangaluru City and Dakshina Kannada police are reviving the village beat system. Under the village beat system, a constable will be in-charge of a village, while in the city, he will look after a ward.

The constable will visit the area regularly and deal with matters, including passport verification, police verification and petition inquiry.

This practice was in vogue when Ajai Kumar Singh was the Director-General and Inspector-General of Police (DG&IGP). This is being revived by Director-General and Inspector-General of Police Rupak Kumar Dutta now.

Dakshina Kannada Superintendent of Police Bhushan Gulabrao Borase said that the police are refining the present beat system to make beat constables in-charge of a village.
Apart from carrying out verifications and inquiries, a constable will deal with civil disputes from the area that are likely to turn into a law and order problem.
The constable also needs to keep track of local public events and keep higher-ups informed of the developments in his area.

For each village, there will be a 50-member committee comprising people from various sections of society in the area.
