POLICE STATION DUTIES AND
VERTICALS
‘Whatever work not monitored
is never done’ is theconcept
behind the upgradation,
professionalization, role clarity
of verticals in the Police
Station. With the Service
motto of ‘Uniform Service Delivery’
and ‘Citizen Centric
Services’, it is decided to implement
the concept of Verticals
in Police Stations across
the State. To initiate responsiveness
among Subordinate
Officers in the Police Station
regarding their Daily Progress
Report (DPR) & routine, role
clarity etc., the verticals have
been formed and their Job
Charts were prepared in the
Police Station. The Station
House Officer is entrusted
to supervise all the verticals
under him daily, and inculcate
competitiveness among
the Subordinate officers.
• Officers in the rank of
Inspectors of Police are Station
House Officers. Being an
initiative made in line with
the intent to separate Law
& Order and Crime Investigation
at the Police Station
level, it is imperative to
restructure the current work
module in the Police Station
into a ‘verticals’ model.
• In this new module,
everybody from the rank
of CPO to SHO is bound
to attend multifarious duties
rather than the current system
of confining to specified
areas only. Moreover, it provides
an opportunity to every
Police Personnel to be well
conversant with the different
duties of basic policing.
