Salem police station India’s 2nd best

04.12.2020

An all-woman police station at Suramangalam in Salem city has been rated as the second best-performing police station in the country for 2020. Nongpok Sekmai police station in Thoubal district of Manipur occupied the top slot on the list released by the Union home ministry.

Home minister Amit Shah said a vast majority of the shortlisted police stations are located in small towns and rural areas. “This indicates that while availability of resources is important, what matters more is the dedication and sincerity of our police personnel to prevent and control crime and serve the nation,” he said.

The rating of police stations was done on the basis of data analysis, direct observation and public feedback. The parameters for short-listing the police stations in the initial stage of the survey included property offences; crimes against women; crimes against weaker sections; and missing persons, unidentified found persons and unidentified bodies. The last parameter was introduced this year.
