City police
commissioner Shivanand Jha has sent a notification to all assistant
commissioner of police (ACP) level officers dated September 14 outlining 52
points to keep in mind while performing their duties. In another notification,
dated September 16, the commissioner has defined the duties to be performed by
senior and junior police inspectors at police stations.
Sources said
that in the recent past the city witnessed a sudden spike in violent crimes and
incidents of public unrest. The notifications would make it easier for law
enforcers to address such issues.
The
notification for the ACPs mentions they would be responsible for crimes in
their divisions. They would have to supervise serious offences, investigate at
least six offences, probe cases where children remain missing beyond two
months, keep an eye on entries in eGujCop and ensure filing of RTI replies in
time. They have also been asked to visit police stations under their
jurisdiction weekly and check case disposals during surprise visits.
"All
mentioned duties have been described in Gujarat Police Manual and various
notifications by the state government over the years. However, with this
notification, the responsibilities have been made more formal," said an
official.
In the second
notification, the senior inspector of a police station has been made
responsible for all administrative work, supervision of personnel, giving
opinion for furlough and licences, visit and inspection of police chowkies and
preventive action. The junior inspector would be responsible for prohibition,
accidental deaths, arms and ammunition supervision, maintenance of records,
police welfare, criminal profile and tracking, seeking report on pending
inquiries and probe and land-related applications.
