Identify ‘unsung heroes’ in the force, says Pant
The Hindu
‘They should get their due recognition’
City Police Commissioner Kamal Pant has instructed senior officials to identify and list ‘unsung heroes’ among personnel at the station level. This is aimed at encouraging deserving police personnel and motivating them to continue doing good work. Cases are cracked through team effort, and many work harder than the investigating officer to solve a case. However, when it comes to rewards, it is the investigating officer who gets the credit. Contributions by the rest of the team are often unnoticed. Such personnel who contribute majorly towards cracking cases are unsung heroes who should get their due recognition, said Mr. Pant. He added: “A mechanism must be put in place at the station level to identify such personnel. Senior police officers have been instructed to get details of officers who played a role in cracking important and sensational cases as well as long-pending cases.”More Related News
