COMMUNITY LIAISON GROUP (CLG)

To improve better police-public relations, it is felt necessary to involve the concept of ‘Community Policing’ for prevention and detection of the crime in the area.  The BPR&D is also encouraging to involve the ‘Community Policing’ in maintaining law & order.  In addition to the existing system of ‘Community Policing’, the following additional steps are also required to be taken by all concerned.  

•  In all the Police Stations, Community Liaison Groups have been formed represented by non political local respectable from the Society.   

•  Periodical meetings are held by SHO / CI / SP at different levels. The CLG meeting will play a vital role at the time of caste /group clashes. 

•  They act as ‘Permanent Peace Committee’ during caste clashes in outskirts of the Union Territory .

At present, the CLG scheme is already activated at PS / OP level. SHO / CI / SP are taking regular meetings with the CLG members involving them for better policing.  However, it has been decided that at District level, the CLG should be constituted under the chairmanship of Senior Superintendent Police {SSP (L&O / Kkl)}.  All SHOs will send some names of the respectable persons from their area, which includes bureaucrats, politicians, social workers, NGOs, advocates, doctors, academicians, etc., to the concerned SPs. Committee will be constituted and regular meetings will be held with the members of the District-level Community Liaison Group. A new CLG called as SFP (Special friend of Police) also be introduced to seek cop-operation of the public.

 Community Policing Resource Centre (CPRC): It is proposed to start ‘Community Policing Resource Centre’ at the Police Headquarters under the chairmanship of the Inspector General of Police.  The CPRC Scheme will emphasis greater participation of the public in day-to-day affairs and will provide useful suggestions for improving Police functioning.   The concerned SP will send the names of the respectable people. Accordingly, a Committee will be constituted and regular meetings will be held at DGP Conference Hall by the DGP.  The CPRC will act as a Resource Centre for the Police Department.
