Twin systems to improve police working in HP.
What is this Twin System?
- Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur launched two systems — Police Station Visitor Survey System and e-Night Beat Checking System — for the state police.
How this will work?
- Both these systems would go a long way in improving the functioning of the Police Department as police personnel would be able to get proper feedback regarding their working and take necessary steps for improving their functioning.
- Police Station Visitor Survey System will be linked with http://bit.ly/HPPolice and would be used for the surveillance of visitors visiting the police stations, police posts and all other police units and would help in creating a database of visitors.
- All the visitors, complainants visiting the police stations, police posts or traffic units would be requested to fill the survey link. The link would be shared by the police with the public through social and print media, Jan Manch meetings, Nasha Nivaran Samiti meetings, community policing meetings, etc.
- Survey System would capture the information like district and its corresponding police stations and the officer met by the complainant in the police station, date and time of visit, the purpose of visit, time spent in the police station or post etc.
