Coimbatore Police launch initiatives, urging schools to prevent sexual crimes against children. Digital drives against drugs and QR feedback systems empower citizens, emphasizing active collaboration for enhanced safety measures.
Coimbatore:
In a concerted effort to bolster safety measures for students and combat crimes, Coimbatore Police Commissioner Balakrishnan emphasized the pivotal role of school administrations in preventing sexual crimes against children. The Coimbatore Police, in collaboration with the Park Institution, launched a robust digital signature drive against drugs. This initiative encouraged active participation from college students, who were urged to take a pledge against drug abuse. During an event held at the Commissioner of Police’s office, participants were provided with certificates, recognizing their commitment to the cause.
Simultaneously, the police department introduced an innovative digital QR code system to gather feedback from women regarding their safety concerns. By scanning the QR code and providing comments, women can actively contribute to enhancing security measures. This forward-thinking approach aims to address the specific safety needs of women, especially those working night shifts, ensuring their voices are heard and their concerns are acted upon promptly.
Commissioner Balakrishnan highlighted the importance of schools cooperating with law enforcement agencies to raise awareness about sexual crimes among students. While police officers visit schools to educate students about these issues, some private schools have been reluctant to grant access, citing various reasons. In a recent incident, despite repeated visits by the police, school administrators allegedly evaded them. Consequently, a case related to a sexual offense was registered against the school, and appropriate legal actions are underway.
The Commissioner emphasized that it is the solemn duty of school managements to proactively implement measures to prevent sexual offenses within school premises. Failure to do so will result in stringent actions against the schools. Importantly, Commissioner Balakrishnan underscored that schools must promptly report any complaints to the police department or the district administration. Investigations are ongoing concerning the recent school incident in Coimbatore. If it is discovered that the school had prior knowledge of the situation but failed to inform the police, appropriate legal consequences will be imposed on the school management. This comprehensive approach underscores the commitment of the Coimbatore Police to safeguarding the welfare of students and women, promoting a secure environment for all residents.
