Hubballi police lack training on ERSS, complain civilians
Hubballi: While the Emergency Response Support System (ERSS) was introduced with a single emergency number, 112, across the nation, it seems city police are not trained on how to respond to callers. In some cases, police insist callers be present at the spot, whereas ERSS assures confidentiality for the caller. In other cases, police show leniency towards marriage processions with DJs and assure callers that the marriage party has obtained permission, even though DJs are completely banned. Many callers note that city police are not trained about ERSS. Suresh Kiresur, former chairman of the Association of Consulting Civil Engineers, Hubballi, shared that one of his friends sought help from ERSS over a footpath encroachment by a trader on Unkal-Gokul Road. "After he registered a grievance on ERSS, local police called him and insisted he show the encroachment. When both Union and state govts assure confidentiality of callers, how can local police insist the caller come out? As my friend argued the same, the police then asked for the shop address and other details. It shows that police themselves are not trained on ERSS," he said. Social activist Lingaraj Dharwad cited another instance of the lack of knowledge of rules among police.

As it was causing a nuisance for residents, we called ERSS for help. When we received a call from local police, they said loudspeakers can be used till 10.30pm. We ourselves sensitised them that no loudspeaker can be used after 10 pm and DJs are never allowed. After this, they arrived and stopped the DJ usage," he informed. Requesting anonymity, a retired inspector said that ERSS is an integrated system to address emergencies of citizens. "It needs a facilitator-consumer approach rather than a police-complainant approach. However, constable-rank cops are not sensitised on the same," he commented. Police commissioner N Shashi Kumar was unavailable for comment.
