The Valavanur police station in Villupuram district has obtained ISO 9001:2015 certification. As per the certification document, the station’s record in enforcement of laws, detection and investigation of crimes, responding to emergencies and providing support services to maintain peace in the area of jurisdiction conformed to the requirements of the ISO cetification.
The station also bagged the award for Workplace Assessment for Safety and Hygiene (WASH), a scheme by the Quality Council of India for commitment towards ensuring safety and hygiene at the workplace. The station geared up for the certification a few months ago by adding additional elements to make it more accessible to the public.
Superintendent of Police N. Shreenatha said it was the first time that a police station in the district was getting ISO certification for streamlining the station records and processes and maintenance of cleanliness and visitor-friendly atmosphere. “We have been striving towards this for the past two months, during which some new measures were implemented to improve efficiency,” he said.
