At the onset of the New Year, Chandigarh Police is preparing to implement three recently approved law bills. Inspector General Raj Kumar Singh has detailed strategies to provide education to Chandigarh’s officers concerning the Indian Penal Code, Indian Citizen Security Act, and Indian Evidence Act.
Specialized refresher courses are in the pipeline to equip police officers with the necessary knowledge to operate within the new legal framework. Chandigarh aims to swiftly implement these legal changes in the coming year, with Deputy Commissioners of Police possibly issuing directives regarding criminal cases under the new laws.
The central government is expected to issue prompt directives for the implementation of these legislative measures. Chandigarh is poised to lead in implementing these laws, setting a benchmark for other territories and states. Inspector General Raj Kumar Singh emphasized comprehensive training for everyone in Chandigarh Police, from constables to Deputy Superintendents of Police, through courses. Video conferencing facilities are being established at police stations.
Chandigarh’s police force is actively collaborating with district courts, working to set up essential infrastructure in police stations for video conferencing during the presentation of accused individuals. This initiative aims to save time and expenses in transporting accused persons to and from police stations.
