Khordha, May 16: In a significant move to enhance community-oriented policing, the Khordha Police District today officially launched the “Khordha Police Mitra” initiative, along with the unveiling of its dedicated logo and citizen-assistance platform.

The initiative aims to improve coordination between the police and citizens by providing instant access to essential police services through a technology-enabled, user-friendly platform. It is designed to facilitate prompt public assistance, encourage citizen participation in policing, and strengthen mutual trust and cooperation.

Through the platform, residents can access a range of police services, including complaint registration, emergency assistance, mobile theft reporting, senior citizen support, police station locations, feedback mechanisms, and other public assistance facilities via QR-based access and WhatsApp support.

The newly unveiled logo represents unity, public trust, safety, responsiveness, and collaboration between the police and the community. It underscores Khordha Police’s commitment to transparent, accessible, professional, and people-centric policing.

Speaking at the launch, Superintendent of Police Vivekananda Sharma emphasised the importance of active public participation in maintaining peace, preventing crime, promoting awareness, and ensuring effective grievance redressal. He urged citizens to associate with the “Police Mitra” initiative and collaborate with law enforcement to build a safer society.

The launch event was attended by Dr. Satyajit Naik, IPS, IG of Police, Central Range, along with senior police officers, public representatives, community members, students, media personnel, and other dignitaries.

Khordha Police reiterated its commitment to effective community policing and responsive public service delivery through this innovative initiative.
