Police launch online citizen communities

NEW DELHI: Next time you need to report about antisocial elements frequenting your colony or any other issue related to law and order, Delhi Police will be a click away. For a strong online presence, police have kick-started another initiative in which they have established online citizen communities for the 11 city districts to enhance their interface with Delhiites.

RWA members and residents can log on to localcircles.com to connect with the district police. More than 50,000 people have already enrolled, police said.

"This is a first-of-its-kind initiative in the country. It aims at bringing together citizens residing in these districts and their district police for the objective of improving law and order. Each district has its own community with an invitation code," Deepak Mishra, special commissioner of police (law and order), told TOI.

Each district has been given a unique identity code. For example, the code name for the New Delhi district would be 'DELHIPOLICE' while for the southeast district, it will be 'SEDELHIPOLICE', police officials explained. The people from the respective districts can join the group after registering with the website.

Using these online citizen communities, police will update the people on crime-related information, tips and local police initiatives. They will also work with communities and RWAs to improve neighbourhood watch.

In less than a week since the communities have been set up, people are reporting and discussing common issues like chain snatching, crime against women, unauthorized parking, encroachments and begging among others. Scores of complaints of car thefts and burglaries in their areas are also being reported through the community pages. "The people are also offering suggestions and discussing important subjects like best safety practices for a colony, disaster management and the role that an alert individual can play during mishaps. The initiative will save people from running to police stations and then can even get updates on their complaint. Each suggestion and complaint is individually monitored and status is reported in a time-bound manner," Mishra added.
