In a decisive move to bolster public safety, the Mohali police have announced a significant escalation in their efforts to curb crime by targeting repeat offenders and individuals known to disrupt peace. The district's top cop has issued clear directives to ensure a more robust and visible security apparatus across the region.
Senior Leadership Issues Strict Directives
Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Harmandeep Hans has taken charge of the initiative, instructing all Deputy Superintendents of Police (DSPs) to convene immediate meetings with Station House Officers (SHOs) under their jurisdiction. The core mandate is to ensure strict adherence to established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) designed for handling potential trouble-makers.
This strategic push was set into motion following a special meeting held on Wednesday. The gathering was conducted under the supervision of Derabassi DSP Bikramjit Singh Brar, marking the formal start of the intensified campaign.
Multi-Pronged Strategy for Enhanced Surveillance
The police blueprint focuses on proactive and preventive measures. Officers have been directed to tighten surveillance networks across their areas and take pre-emptive action against those with a documented history of creating disturbances. A key component is maximizing the visibility of police presence to deter criminal activity.
The comprehensive plan includes several actionable points:
- Establishing special checkpoints at crucial and sensitive locations throughout the district.
- Conducting daily inspections and monitoring of public spaces, busy marketplaces, and other crowded zones.
- Launching intensive checking drives in areas identified as vulnerable or high-risk.
- Ensuring optimal deployment of Police Control Room (PCR) and Rapid Police Response System (RRPS) vehicles for enhanced and dynamic patrolling.
- Enforcing rules to ensure that weapons owned by identified trouble-makers are deposited with authorities as per regulations.
Focus on Visibility and Rapid Response
Beyond surveillance, the police are placing strong emphasis on two critical factors: visibility and speed. The directive explicitly calls for ensuring that patrolling teams are a constant and noticeable presence in the community. This serves as both a deterrent and a reassurance to citizens.
Concurrently, improving response times to any emerging law and order situation is a top priority. The goal is to address incidents swiftly before they can escalate, thereby maintaining a firm grip on public order and security across Mohali district.
