Pune Police’s new “Cop 24” initiative aims to enhance safety by focusing on dedicated patrols and quick crime response.
Pune: The city is stepping up its game with the new “Cop 24” initiative. This program is all about having dedicated officers on patrol, which is a big change from the past.
Before, officers were juggling multiple tasks, which made it tough for them to keep an eye on crime. Now, with “Cop 24,” 726 officers will focus just on patrolling. They’ll be part of the crime branch, which should make a real difference.
These officers will be out on the streets, ready to respond quickly to any incidents. They’ll wear special uniforms, so you’ll know who they are. The plan is to test this out first and then make it a permanent fixture if it works well.
Commissioner Amitesh Kumar mentioned that these officers won’t have other duties at local stations. This means they can really concentrate on keeping Pune safe. With 24-hour surveillance, residents can feel more secure knowing there’s a dedicated team watching over them.
