A set of instructions has been issued to address the perceived poor control of station house officers (SHOs) over the functioning of their police stations in the Ernakulam Range covering Kottayam, Alappuzha, Idukki and Ernakulam Rural.
The subject was discussed in detail during a monthly crime review meeting chaired by the Ernakulam Range DIG Putta Vimaladitya at his office on September 19.
It was found that many of the SHOs were not aware of what was happening in their police stations. “This is primarily because the SHOs are not following the traditional methods of effective management of day-to-day functions of the police personnel,” the minutes of the meeting read.
