Punjab Police on image improvement drive
As a part of improving police-public interface, the Punjab Police has decided to publish a magazine as a part of its public relations endeavours, and highlight the people-friendly image of Punjab Police.
Director General of Police S.S. Virk said the monthly magazine will give the police's perspective, and showcase the literary, cultural and artistic talent of police officials and personnel.
The magazine also intends to inform the people about the police achievements in detecting important crime stories.
Congratulations to DGP S.S. Virk and his team of dynamic police officers for coming up with brilliant ideas.
However, there is a dire need that the Police everywhere gets sensitised to the finer nuances of human relations and improves its direct public interface with more humility, understanding, and compassion, instead of reacting with muscle power.
