Will provide best & humanitarian policing; focus on Dusshera, crime control: Twin City's New Police Commissioner

 A day after Odisha government effected a major reshuffle in the IPS cadre, senior officer Suresh Devdatta Singh on Monday took charge as the new chief of Twin City Commssionerate Police. He took charge from Sanjeeb Panda who has been transferred and posted as ADG, Training and Director, BPSPA.

Singh assumed office at a special function held at Commissionerate Police headquarters in Bhubaneswar on Monday. The Twin City Police Commissioner also sought cooperation from public and assured that the Commissionerate Police will provide its best and also humanitarian policing.

“Today, I have assumed charge as the Police Commissioner of Twin Cities. I will soon review the law and order situation with my team and prepare a road map. Whatever is expected of the Commissionerate Police, we will take prompt actions for investigation and bring culprits to justice. Those approaching us for any grievances will be treated properly. People can approach Commissionerate Police freely,” said Singh.

Singh further said that stern action will be taken against those challenging the law and order and creating nuisance in the society.

“Police need to be strict and at the same time ensure that a person can approach him/her freely. An officer needs to bring a balance between these two aspects. We will identify the weak links and will continuously work on those. The Commissionerate Police will be open to suggestions and take appropriate steps for course correction,” the new Police Commissioner said.

The outgoing Police Commissioner Sanjeeb Panda served as Twin City Police Commissioner for a period of eight months.

“The period was crucial as general elections were held and we did a good job in ensuring incident-free polls. We have also registered success in returning around Rs 2 crore to the victims of cyber crimes. Similarly, the Commissionerate Police also was successful in cracking several crimes,” said Panda.
