Jammikunta police station among 10 best in the country

The objective was to rank the top 10 police stations out of 16,671 stations in the country through data analysis, direct observation and public feedback.

Hyderabad The Jammikunta police station in Karimnagar district found a place among 2020’s top 10 best police stations in the country selected by the Union government. It was ranked tenth. In 2019, the Choppadandi police station in the district was ranked seventh.

Union Minister for Home Affairs Amit Shah said a vast majority of police stations were shortlisted from thousands of police stations located in small towns and rural areas in the country. This indicates that while the availability of resources is important, more important is the dedication and sincerity of the police personnel to prevent and control crime.

The top 10 police stations were ranked from the total 16,671 in the country through data analysis, direct observation and public feedback.

The ranking process commenced with shortlisting of the best-performing police stations in each State on the basis of addressing property offence, crime against women, crime against weaker sections, missing persons, unidentified found person and unidentified dead bodies. The last parameter has been introduced this year.

Initially, three police stations from each State were selected and in the final stage, 19 parameters were identified to evaluate the standards of service delivery and identify techniques of improvement in policing. This part constituted 80 per cent of weightage, and the rest was based on the infrastructure of the police station, approachability of personnel and feedback of citizens.

Citizens who were approached for feedback included 4,056 respondents, covering approximately 60 people at each shortlisted location.

Health Minister Eatala Rajender, BC Welfare and Civil Supplies Minister Gangula Kamalakar and Director-General of Police M Mahendar Reddy appreciated the Jammikunta police.

Karimnagar CP rewards PS staff

The motto of the Karimnagar district police is ‘We are here to render service to people’, and this helped Jammikunta secure 10th spot among the best police stations in the country.
