DIG tells cops to build rapport with public

Coimbatore: Deputy inspector general of police K S Narenthiran Nayar on Friday directed police personnel to desist from using force against the public.
“Cops should be gentle and kind in dealing with the public and build rapport with public,” Nayar told the 50 sub-inspectors, who attended a meeting held at the PSG College of Arts and Science here. “You can register FIRs against those who violate the prohibitory orders but not arrest them. Work with restraint and show dignified conduct during the lockdown.”
Police personnel should be careful when dealing with those under custody. The special branch (SB) should give senior officers up-to-date information, he said.
The DIG also instructed superintendent of police Sujit Kumar and deputy superintendents of police to brief inspectors about the recent circulars issued by the DGP office.
