The women officers will also review the cases of crimes against women pending in courts to ensure better prosecution. (Representational) Noida Police, on Saturday, launched the beat policing system for women cops as part of Mission Shakti’s third phase.
As per police officials, women constables have been allotted beats within their jurisdiction. They will have to meet women in their area to maintain a channel of communication. The designated officers will have to inform senior officials in cases of crimes against women within their beats.
