Hyderabad: The newly appointed Hyderabad police commissioner, on Saturday, launched ‘Extra Mile Reward’ programme that would award police personnel who display a humanitarian approach while conducting their duties.
In a video conference with police officers, the Sajjanar believed the award would motivate officers to aggrieved citizens with compassion. “Officers who earn public appreciation will be identified every Saturday and felicitated with a certificate and a reward,” he said.
Commissioner Sajjanar also warned that those found guilty of negligence or misconduct would face strict department action. “It is unacceptable for anyone in uniform to take the law into their own hands,” he said.
On September 30, VC Sajjanar took charge as the commissioner of Hyderabad police, replacing CV Anand, who now serves as the Principal Secretary, Home Department.
