Reducing the paunch and getting into shape may now bring rewards to the police in Ernakulam Rural limits in Kerala.
In a novel initiative aimed at incentivising fitness and encouraging the members of the force to strike a perfect work-life balance so as to keep them motivated and maximise their efficiency, the Ernakulam Rural police have introduced a system of awarding good service entry on a regular basis.
A four-member vetting-cum-verification committee headed by the Additional Superintendent and the Special Branch DySP has been formed for the purpose. Station house officers (SHOs) of 34 police stations in the rural limits will serve as nodal officers of the programme and will make monthly recommendations to the committee for awarding the good service entry.
