Police Day

We all are very well-known about police. Police simply refers to the civil force of a state, responsible for the prevention and detection of crime and the maintenance of public security, peace and order. The police of Nepal is responsible for maintaining law and order and prevention of crime according to the constitution of Nepal and is under the authority of the Ministry of Home Affairs. Sarbendra Khanal is the current IGP (Inspector General) of Nepal Police. The main aim of the Metropolitan Police Office is to prevent crime and the fear of crime and provide effective, efficient and fair police service to the people in order to build safe, healthy and prepared neighborhoods throughout the Kathmandu Valley. So, to make the Kathmandu valley one of the safest valleys in the world Nepal Police Force is trying there best.

Nowadays, the bad concept towards police is increasing rapidly. People are unaware about the positive aspects of police. Due to lack of public participation Nepal Police are facing several troubles. People's participation and co-operation are not actively seen in helping the police force. That's why; we grade IX students of Jagat Mandir Secondary School took part in the one day police-community partnership program to co-operate with the police force conducted in Metropolitan Police Office, Ranipokhari, Kathmandu. We were given a short class by DSP (Deputy Superintendent of Police) Shantiraj Koirala. We were shown the presentation about the misuse of social media and cyber crime. He removed our confusion towards the bad concept regarding police and clarified the responsibilities of good & loyal police inspector. DSP Koirala awares us about the adverse effect of cyber crime and consequences of misusing social media. He too aware us about the cyber bullying, phising, rape case, blackmailing, sexting, sextortion and hacking accounts. Some videos related to cyber crime and rape case were shown to us. Nowadays, our society is too much influenced in social media. In the present context, suicide case has increased rapidly and many people are being depressed & frustrated due to cyber bullying and blackmailing. So, to get rid of these kinds of issues we were provided this community-police awareness program.

After a short interval, we went to observe the control room of Metropolitan Police Office. Many police inspectors were assigned different computers to observe CCTV photage of different places in order to reduce crimes in the valley. Some of the people were registering their complains as well. If any accident is occurred, the police force immediately reaches at the spot and investigates further. After we completed our observation, we went to Nepal Police Canine Operation Division, Ranibari, Kathmandu. Many dogs were kept in the different rooms separately. There were many horses as well trained by traffic police. All the dogs have their own importance and responsibility. As told by one of the police inspector, there are mainly 4 types of dogs. They are:

• Tracker Dogs
• Bomb Dogs
• Narcotics Dogs
• Search & Rescue Dogs

All the above mentioned types of dogs performed their talent & skill infront of us. All of us enjoyed a lot. They all have their only one and unique talent. There are mainly 8 breeds of dogs. They are:

• German Shepherd
• Belgium Shepherd
• Dutch Shepherd
• Beagle
• Labrador
• Golden Retriever
• Cocker Spaniel
• Bloodhound

In conclusion, this one day police-community partnership program was very inspirational, motivational, effective, efficient and interesting. We grade IX students learned about our own protection, security, internal peace and order. We are aware about the cyber crime, cyber bullying, phishing and blackmailing. We must not share our password even with the closest person and publish personal message on public posts. We should first verify app then use it safely. Don't even accept friend request from unknown person and resources. I'm sincerely grateful towards the school administration and community-police force for giving us the opportunity to attend this beneficial & awareness program that will help a lot in my upcoming days.
