In a significant move to strengthen policing and enhance accountability, the Dhanbad police on Tuesday launched a special briefing workshop at the police centre. The initiative aims to improve the efficiency, professionalism, and responsiveness of police personnel across the district.
First Day of Workshop
On the first day, sub-inspectors (SIs) from various police stations participated in an extensive briefing session. The workshop was attended by senior officers including SSP Prabhat Kumar, City SP Ritwik Srivastava, and Rural SP S Mohammad Yakub.
SSP Prabhat Kumar stated, "Traditionally, briefing sessions were conducted only for DSPs, SHOs, and circle officers, who then conveyed instructions to subordinates. However, we have adopted a new approach by directly briefing sub-inspectors and assistant sub-inspectors (ASIs) for better communication and implementation of strategies."
Training in Phases
The SSP informed that approximately 340 SIs and nearly 500 ASIs are currently serving in the district. In the first phase, SIs are being trained and briefed in batches. Following this, ASIs will undergo similar briefing sessions over the next five days.
Focus Areas
During the workshop, officers are being sensitised on several key areas:
- Maintaining law and order
- Crime prevention
- Quality of investigation
- Public interaction
- Precautions to be observed while performing duty
Emphasis is also laid on improving professional conduct and strengthening public trust in the police force.
The SSP added, "Direct interaction with officers and personnel at the grassroots would help improve the quality of policing and ensure more effective implementation of departmental directives."
