Berhampur: The Superintendent Police in Berhampur and Ganjam Police district has formed property offence prevention and detection (POPD) team.
The main aim and object was to separate teams to detect and prevent Murders, Docaity, robberies, thefts, and other property offences in Ganjam.
As per the source, one team in each police station has been constituted to investigate the property offences. Each team comprises one officer and two to three constables.
The officers assigned to investigate cases of snatching; thefts, robbery, and dacoity have been designated as the nodal officers.
As decided, the officers will not be given any other tasks related to law and order and they meant exclusively for crime management.
.
“POPD teams have been formed Berhampur and Ganjam police district. But it is an experiment to separate the responsibilities of law and order and investigation.
In our observation we felt, there is Lack of Coordination between Police Stations for High Security to Manage Crimes especially in Berhampur Police district (!).
If we go back last 15 days of this month police have done tremendous achievement like detection of Docility, Murder, arresting Murders many. But the restless Miscreants Three days back Snatch Rs 4 .5 Lakh Cash from Old Couple In Berhampur City In broad daylight (!). The Badiyanathpur Police investigating from different corner with their limited staff strength. The Officer still works day and night dedicatedly with his challenges.
Experts say that. A major cause for these high crimes, they say,the lack of coordination between the other police stations controlled by SPs’ASPs, SDPOs’.
The lack of coordination was clear during the Odd-even crime like snatchings, detection of Murders,Docaity,Robberies, thefts, which were introduced every at different locations to watch and guard in the Berhampur city, to encourage people from crime free assurance.
Today its highly essential the Higher authority to introduce Quick Action Team in city and the aim of the course; to prepare a quick action team, capable enough to operate effectively on specific intelligence input, and take required action in time. during unforeseen event situation to support entire security setup covering entire Police stations in crime theat. Moreover, One competent officer should be assigned with a team those are with sound health, young and energetic who will monitor all nature of crimes management and assist to Office in Charge (IIC) of all Police stations.
