Here is an opportunity for youngsters, the aged, professionals and retired government servants to serve the city as volunteers, by tipping off the police about crimes.
To help fight crime, the city police have come out with a unique idea: Crime Prevention Warden Organisation (CPWR). CPWR was started with 50 persons wearing blue T-shirts given by the police, in Vijayanagar, Narasimharaja, Mandi and V V Puramm police station limits.
Police Commissioner K L Sudheer, who launched the programme at the Nanjaraja Bahadur Choultry on Sunday, said that the volunteers may be anybody, but they must be law abiding citizens. “They will be used to prevent crimes and not for detecting them. All retired government servants, including police personnel and youth, can join. Each one would be given an identity card. CPWR members, who get any information on crimes, would immediately alert the sub inspector (crime) of the concerned station,” he said. CPWR would be used mainly to track offences such as chain snatching, house burglary and dacoity, Sudheer added.
