Subject:- Community participation in Railway Policing

The RPF has been bestowed with the responsibility of protection of passengers and passenger area w.e.f. 1.7.2004. It was necessitated by the fact that GRP was found wanting in giving the desired output. RPF has taken up this additional responsibility with élan and is deploying a sizeable number of staff for train escorting and access control duties.

However, keeping in vie the number of passengers traveling in trains, the number of trains running and the large number of passenger interface areas, it is difficult nigh impossible for the RPF to do this work with its present resources.

A proposal is being processed for sanction of additional manpower. There are other proposals for procurement of modern equipments e.g. CCTVs, bomb detection and disposal equipments etc. which will definitely help in achieving the desired objective. RPF staff are also being trained in intelligence collection, conducting enquiry etc. to equip them with modern techniques. However, the above efforts will not be sufficient to match the challenge on hand.

Therefore, it is necessary to involve others also in tackling the above problems. The concept of community policing may be implemented to solve this problem.

The following groups are closely associated with passengers and passenger area:-
1. Daily passengers:- Passengers associations may be involved to get valuable inputs regarding criminals operating in the sections.
2. Authorised vendors / hawkers:- Since they are regularly operating in a station / section, they may be involved to get information about noticing anti-social elements, suspicious movements etc.
3. Authorised porters:- In all important stations, they may be an important source of information.
4. TTEs/ Guards :-They are running regularly in particular sections, and can be source of invaluable information.
5. TCs / ASMs / SMs ;- their area of activity is platform, and they might also give important suggestion / information.

It is possible that even now some of the IPFs are taking use of the above in their individual capacity. However, to reap maximum benefits at all levels, we may institutionalize the involvement of the above groups in regular policing work and making them partner in the mission of making the Railways, a crime free area.

We may start Community Railway Policing Centres (CRPC) at all posts / outposts under leadership of Post commanders / OP incharges. They may be advised to conduct monthly meetings with the above groups. The GRP should also be involved in such meetings.

To motivate involvement of the above groups, rewards can be given for (1)suggestions leading to important improvements in system, and
(2) information leading to arrest of criminals.

We may also print posters so that people having any information can give the same in CRPCs.

AVAILING LEAVE IS SO EASY !!!!!!!!

Suddenly one of the employees in a Company took 10 days leave without any notice. When he returned his boss asked for explanation. The employee replied "Sir, my mom died unexpectedly". The boss let it go at that.

After 3 months the same pattern repeated, and this time he said his father died. Then the Boss got transferred and a new Boss reported for duty. After 3 months the same pattern repeated. And the employee gave the explanation that his mom died. After 3 months same thing again... And this time his father died. This happened repeatedly for 2 years.

At the end, the Boss checked his checked his past records, called him and told him, "I have caught you red handed, How come in the past 2 years, your mom has died 5 times, and your dad has died five times?"

To which the guy said, "Sir, my mom died and my father
remarried. Then my father died and my new mom remarried. Then my mom died and the new father remarried. This has been going on and on and on………….!

The boss ………………!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Read and have fun!!!

Lawyer One-Liners 

What is the difference between a tick and a lawyer? * A tick falls off of you when you die.
What do you have when 100 lawyers are buried up to their neck in sand? * Not enough sand.
Why are lawyers like nuclear weapons? * If one side has one, the other side has to get one. Once launched, they cannot be recalled.
Lawyer's creed: * A man is innocent until proven broke.
I saw a lawyer with his hands in his own pockets.
A man walked into a lawyer's office and inquired about the lawyer's rates. "$50.00 for three questions", replied the lawyer. "Isn't that awfully steep?" asked the man. "Yes," the lawyer replied, "and what was your third question?" You're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake and a lawyer. You have a gun with two bullets. What should you do? * You shoot the lawyer. Twice.

why people play pranks with the lives of others???

Last night, an unidentified caller called Railway Call Centre and informed that there was a bomb on board the Chitrakut Express. The train connects Jabalpur and Lucknow Stations and runs fully packed. The information was received at 930 PM and the train was immediately stopped at a road side station Jukehi. The station does not have properpassenger amenities.The Railway and Police administration geared up for the task ahead. The passengers were appealed to keep their calm. dog squad, Bomb detection units were summoned from nearest stations Katni and Satna. The train was thouroughly checked over and over again. No explosive was found. The call was found to be false. It caused immense misery to travelling passengers and huge loss of government revenue.
Why do some people resort to such tactics? In the times of strife and pain such as this, when we are greaving the loss of human lives in bengaluru and Ahmedabad, why our brethern commit these irresponsible acts? It is time we identified these unscrupulous people and taught them suitable lessons.
