JAMMU, June 18: In order to bridge the gap between police and public, Range Police Jammu today organized a visit of students of various schools of Jammu to Police Station City in order to familiarize students regarding functioning of the police station.
The students were temporarily assigned different roles as SHO/Munshi/Duty Officer etc. and complainants  were advised to share their complaints with the students who were assigned different roles in the police station in order to know the kind of treatment public expect from the Munshies, Duty Officers and SHOs while visiting police station in connection with lodging of their complaints.
DIG Jammu on the occasion said that this programme has been organized to ensure people friendly policing at police station level as per the directions of  DGP K. Rajendra Kumar.
All the officers and jawans present in the police station were made to watch the whole show and they were directed by DIG Jammu to bring behavioural changes in them as per the expectations of the general public in order to gain public confidence and serve the society in a desired manner as such steps are important for improving police public relations.
Later, comments were sought from the students who acted as SHO/Munshi/Duty Officer etc. They said that the job of the Police officers/jawans in the Police Station is very challenging as practically it is very difficult to know the authenticity of the complaint and to solve the problems of the complainants on spot and to take decision within no time.
DIG Jammu was accompanied by Rajnish Pran SP, Parshotam Lal Sharma Deputy Director Prosecution, Ambarkar Shriram Dinkar SDPO West,  Kulbir Honda SDPO City and others.
