HR Police: Gurgoan Police: अब जेंटलमैन बनेंगे पुलिसवाले, English language,personality development training for local cops

GURGAON: In order to communicate with residents in a friendly and effective manner, city policemen are being imparted with soft skills training.
"Most of our staff comes from the rural parts of Haryana. They need training to learn etiquettes," said a senior police officer. Gurgaon police have received several complaints where residents have found police constables to be rude and high-handed in their approach.
Last year during the Commonwealth Games, city police organized a few sessions on the basics of English language and personality development for the local cops. Those sessions were mainly designed to train the constables in communicating with the visiting foreigners. That, however, was not enough. Senior police officers have realized a need for constant training and development in this area. As a result, such training sessions are being organized frequently, with the focus not just on the English language, but also overall personality development.


According to the police commissioner, S S Deswal, soft-skill training has become an integral part of the annual programme. "We are organizing such training sessions frequently. Constables, head constables, and ASIs are regularly selected for various communication programmes," he said.
Deswal said that the ability to communicate effectively is an important part of the required skill-set for a policeman. "The level of education in society is going up. And the police department has to keep up to the rising standards. Police need to reflect the character of the millennium city," he added.
Such training modules are being seen as a good sign. But are they effective? S K Gupta, a resident of Sushant Lok, said that he was yet to come across a cop who talks politely. "They always talk in an ill-mannered way. Most of them are offensive, but one doesn't have any option," he added.
In 2010, Gurgaon police hired a personality development institute named, Hero Mindmine, to train its personnel in soft skills. Vivek Sharma is the regional manager and was the project head for the training of Gurgaon cops. "We had a 40-day session with cops in Gurgaon, and over 1,000 cops were trained," said Sharma.
He said that police personnel in Haryana are known to be tougher than their counterparts elsewhere"That is why there is need in Gurgaon for such training to be made more frequent and more systematic," he said.

WB Police: Kolkata Police: लूट,चोरी में कितना गोल्ड ज़ब्त हुआ, ये तो पुलिस थाने वाले हिसाब लगा लेते है, इशारा समझ जाएं

City police are fast acquiring an unchallengeable expertise in valuing gold. The police have become very much capable in this trade, more than any expert in the market.

The method which the police have adopted to value gold seems to be uniquely designed for the department’s convenience. The gold would be rated low in case a person is robbed and its value would be high if the police have recovered it from a thief!


The policemen value the gold, whether pure or impure, by finding out the year in which it was bought and then making a comparative study. “The police delve into the history of the concerned family to calculate value of gold today,” said a social worker. He also added, “Police also have been showing sound understanding of socioeconomic changes in the country. They have nearly triggered a need for research on India’s matrimonial patterns by assuming
that most Indians married prior to 80s to avoid high gold prices.”

It so happened that burglars recently struck at a trader’s place in Manav Nagar and made away with 20 tola of gold. Mahesh Tiwari, the trader, was left aghast by the amount of loss that the police cited in the official record. “I had repeatedly told the police that gold costing more than Rs 5 lakh was stolen from my house. But the cops kept on ignoring my pleas. They said that the value of 20 tola gold stolen from my place was only Rs 1.50 lakh,” said an
exasperated Tiwari.

According to an expert, the value of gold at present is around Rs 22,000 per 10 grams. He opined that the yellow metal would not be priced less wherever it is valued. “A bullion trader would purchase gold at the present rate in the market irrespective of whether it had been valued by police or thief,” said the expert.

The Akbanis from Mahesh Nagar had lost more than eight-and-half tola gold after their house was recently burgled. The cops calculated their loss to be less than Rs 1 lakh. The Akbanis were left speechless by the cops’ valuation.


Last week the crime branch police nabbed the thief, who had burgled the Akbanis’ place, and recovered the valuables. But dramatically the value of recovered gold changed.

“We have recovered gold worth more than Rs 1.20 lakhs that was stolen from Akbani’s place,” said a crime branch official. The very gold that had been valued at a lesser rate suddenly gained value after it was recovered by the police. “The calculator that the police use, seem to be a very faithful and unique gadget,” said a social worker.

Police seem to have devised various ways to defeat a burglary victim in arguments regarding the rate of gold. Tiwari recalled some questions that the cops asked him regarding the value of loss at his place. “I was asked to furnish the list of the gold ornaments stolen and produce bills for each item,” he said. “They wanted me to find out from my family whether the details of the gold purchases were available. The cops asked me to contact my relatives for bills of the purchases they made while gifting me or my wife a gold ornament,” said Tiwari.

Another person, whose house was recently burgled, said that the police inquiry into the theft sounded as if they were working for the income tax department too. “Cops were so fascinated with gold bills that it seemed as if they wanted to audit my family’s wealth and not record the theft,” he said.

WB Police: Kolkata Police: पुलिस वाले भी स्टिंग ऑपरेशन करते है, और कैसे पकड़ लेते है झूठ

Sleuthing, strategies and hot chases are all very well, but there are times when cops have use that other potent weapon: sweet talk. In some cases, when the going gets tough, cops find it best to go smooth, often finding culprits walking straight into the trap.

Shivlal Kukwas, a known criminal, recently found out that cops had turned on the charm to nail him. Kukwas and his gang members were caught by crime branch for a burglary. Police knew he had stashed the stolen Rs 1.10 lakh somewhere. But Kukwas had clammed up during questioning.


So, the investigators planned a trick. They found out about Rajesh Patle, who is Kukwas's best friend, from his cell phone details. The cops called up Rajesh and posed as ardent sympathizers of Kukwas. "Please arrange for a good lawyer for him. We being police have to take action but we feel sorry for Kukwas," the cops told Patle.

Having softened him up thus, the cops then told Patle: "You have the money that Kukwas gave you. Please use the cash for his bail and lawyer's fee." Patle, the good friend that he was, fell for the spiel. He came with the cash to meet the lawyer and was trapped. Police recovered the stolen cash and also took him into custody for helping a criminal.

While smooth talk can get a criminal nailed, it can also let an innocent person off the hook. A couple of years ago, senior inspector PV Bele of Hudkeshwar police station, planned a similar trick to exonerate a man from a false rape charge. The officer had smelled something fishy in a minor girl's claim that a man had raped her. Wanting to know the truth, Bele gave the girl his personal cellphone to talk to her brother. "Talk to your brother and lighten your heart," Bele told her, sympathy personified. Inside his mind, however, his ploy was playing out. The canny cop had turned on the voice recorder on his cellphone before handing it over to the girl.


After talking to her brother, the girl handed back the cellphone to Bele, who asked her to relax. Back in his chamber, Bele listened to the girl's conversation and found out that she was framing an innocent man in a bid to save her elder sister's husband. A DNA analysis had already proved that the man the girl had accused was not the one who had impregnated her. It was Bele's act that helped police know who the real culprit was.

Another officer told a story about a gang of fraudsters that was stonewalling the cops' grilling. After days of frustration, the cops, one fine day, walked into the room of an accused. They were in celebratory mood and were congratulating each other. "The man got thoroughly confused at this sight. We told him that the other accused had spilled the beans and fingered him as the main culprit. Enraged at his 'back-stabbing' buddies, the man revealed all the secrets and was nailed," said the officer.

Delhi Police: Anna Hazare: सांसद बोले- इन टीवी चैनलों ने तो हमारा सोना,रोना, खाना-पीना, सब हराम कर दिया है, सिर्फ अन्ना ही अन्ना दिखा रहे हैं, हमें तो कभी इतना नहीं दिखाया???

Role of television channels came in for sharp criticism in Parliament with members accusing them of giving too much coverage to Anna Hazare's crusade against corruption. "Is dibbe se bahut dikkat hai" (This idiot box gives a lot of trouble)," said Sharad Yadav (JD-U) in the Lok Sabha,


referring to the non-stop coverage of Hazare's indefinite fast at Ramlila Maidan in the capital.
The private news channels are so obsessed with Hazare that they have stopped showing other important news especially floods in different parts of the country particularly in eastern India, he said, participating in a debate on the Lokpal issue.


He wondered why Congress MPs regularly visit TV studios, participate in the discussions and subject themselves to scrutiny by "Bengali babu moshai".

Amid frequent applause from all sections of the House, Yadav said, "The country is not run by discussions on television channels, but by debates in Parliament".

The 24-hour news channels, he added, "are not allowing us to sleep."

BSP leader Dara Singh Chauhan too said that television channels do a lot to improve their TRP ratings.


Rewati Raman Singh (SP) demanded that both electronic and print media should be brought under ambit of the Lokpal.

DMK member TKS Elangovan too attacked the media for its role in the movement saying it has turned the crusade against corruption into a fight against Parliament and Constitution.

"In democracy people are the judges and not media", he added.

Police Health: ड्यूटी के पहले या ड्यूटी के बाद, 15 मिनट की वॉक और सीढ़ियां चढ़े, स्वस्थ रहे...

MUMBAI: The city's concrete jungle provides little space for health and fitness. Footpaths and walkways are non-existent , cycling tracks are an alien concept and gyms are an expensive proposition. So, what should a harried-for-time Mumbaikar do to shed the extra flab?

Doctors say that it is not difficult to stay fit in the city despite its unfriendly environment. From climbing stairs to walking through the city's hustle-bustle , Mumbaikars can stay fit with just a little effort.


Dr Archana Juneja, endocrinologist at Seven Hills Hospital in Andheri, says, "People should make it a habit to take a 15-minute stroll after every meal. Climb stairs instead of taking the lift." She concedes that although doctors advise their patients to exercise, the options are limited in the city.

Last week, a Taiwanese study changed a well-accepted fitness regimen: Instead of the daily 30-minute exercise mantra that doctors had so far recommended, the new study said that even 15 minutes of moderate intensity daily workout would do the trick. The study followed patients with heart problems, cancer and kidney problems over 12 years and found that even this most minimum regimen helped patients stay fitter.

"Any form of physical activity is better than no physical activity . Short duration also works, but longer the duration of exercise , the better,'' says a doctor.


Cardiac surgeon Pawan Kumar says that his advice to patients who walk into his consulting room is to "walk into to the neighbourhood gym if you can afford it" or start climbing the stairs every time. "Aerobic exercises that help the heart should be practised for 45 minutes at least three times a week."

Doctors concur that even modern exercise forms such as power yoga can help. 'If you begin with 10 power yoga surya namaskar exercises in a minute, stepping up to 30 a minute would be great,' says a surgeon.


Bariatric surgeon Dr Sanjay Borude has a detailed plan worked out. "People have to walk 6 km at a stretch within an hour. They can cycle a few kilometres more within the same time span." He says that swimming - more vigourous than cycling or walking - for half an hour is a good idea too. "People should do 100-metre laps."

Dr Borude has a special note for cyclists who exercise for health reasons. "If a cyclist dresses up for the exercise, complete with the cycling gear, he or she is likely to find that even bus drivers will be careful with them." Best of all, he says, there is no real need for a gym to stay fit.

CALORIE BUSTERS

Doctors prescribe easy-to follow exercise regimen Do moderate workout for 15 to 30 minutes, daily Always climb stairs Walk briskly to break into a sweat Some doctors say one should walk a kilometre within 10 minutes Beginning from 2 km a day, one could step it up to 6 km a day If possible, occasionally swim and cycle
