The recent attempted robbery and shoot-out at a jewellery shop in Kodigehalli and the quick action by the Hoysala team has revealed how the staff had been upgraded with training skills and armed with weapons to handle any eventualities.
City Police commissioner B. Dayananda said that all the 241 Hoysala teams have been upgraded with the Head Constable to Assistant Police Sub Inspector as patrol officers, along with training to handle the situation with arms. The Police Sub Inspectors will have to replace the ASI as patrol officers in case the latter is not available for duty.
The Hoysala staff in both the shifts have been trained on how to tackle different situations tactically instead of the conventional way of visiting and reporting the incident to the jurisdictional station.
