Ghaziabad: Cops in the city have unveiled a commissionerate courts monitoring system (CCMS), a digital platform that promises to streamline court proceedings and enhance transparency in legal processes. The system, developed under the supervision of police commissioner J Ravinder Goud, will offer real-time access to court information and updates on the status of cases. "This digital initiative represents a fundamental shift in how we manage court cases.

Ghaziabad police reorganise beat policing with ‘citizen-centric' measures
Ghaziabad police have restructured their beat-policing system, creating 2,096 police beats based on population density in urban and rural areas, officials said on Friday. The reorganisation aims to make policing more citizen-centric while enhancing law and order and crime monitoring, they said. According to the new structure, the commissionerate has been divided into 512 beats across six police stations in the city zone, 693 beats in seven police stations of the trans-Hindon zone, and 891 beats under 11 police stations in the rural zone. 'The beats have been reorganised as per population density with a focus on citizen-centric policing. Beat police officers (BPOs) will operate within their designated areas, maintain cordial relations with citizens, and handle verifications related to passports, tenants, arms licences, and more. They will also execute warrants and notices, and take preventive action under Sections 126, 135, and 170 of the Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita,' said police commissioner J Ravinder Goud. The overhaul, officials said, reflects a shift towards a more accountable and accessible policing model, with beat officers expected to act as the first point of contact between citizens and law enforcement. 'It's about visibility, approachability, and responsibility on the ground,' Goud said, adding that the force is committed to bridging gaps between police and public through consistent, area-specific engagement. In 2024, Ghaziabad police conducted 76,353 passport verifications, 54,401 character verifications, 13,006 tenant checks, 2,623 domestic help verifications, and 2,058 employee verifications. Goud added that BPOs will carry out these verifications within a timebound framework as per the citizen charter—passport verifications within 15 days, various NOCs in five days, and other verifications within 10 days. Officials said urban beats will each cover around 5,000 people, while rural beats will handle populations of 2,500–4,000. Each beat will be managed by a head constable, and clusters of three to four beats will be overseen by a beat sub-inspector. About 10–15% of beats in each police station area will be headed by women officers. 'BPOs will also gather ground-level intelligence on those with criminal records, active criminals, and individuals out on bail. They'll stay updated on developments in colonies, high-rises, malls, transit hubs, hospitals, and banks,' Goud said. Since taking charge, Goud has introduced several initiatives including doorstep delivery of FIRs, fixed tenures for sub-inspectors and constables, and restrictions on traffic head-constables issuing traffic fines. He has also directed that cross-FIRs be reviewed by an external police circle and registered only with senior officer approval. Any changes to suspects' names or IPC/BNS sections during investigations now require DCP approval in serious cases and ACP clearance in others.

‘Ghaziabad to have beat policing system': Police Commissioner J Ravinder Goud
The Ghaziabad police Friday said they have launched the beat policing system wherein police officers will be assigned to specific areas under a police station to enhance community policing, improve police-public interaction, and strengthen local crime prevention efforts. Addressing a press conference, J Ravinder Goud, the newly appointed police commissioner of Ghaziabad, said, 'We are releasing a citizens' charter. We will focus on public hearings, traffic management, crime against women, and also improve the infrastructure of the police stations, pink booths, and make them more people-friendly.' According to the police, Ghaziabad will soon have trained beat police officers and beat sub-inspectors. 'We will have one beat for each 5,000 people. The beat police officers will be able to register crimes under sections 126 (wrongful restraint), 135 (assault), and 170 (bribery) of the BNS,' Goud said. The police officer mentioned that the Ghaziabad police verified 76,653 passports, 46,180 character certificates online, and 7,683 character certificates offline last year. 'In total, we conducted 1,49,409 verifications in the last year, and the numbers will go up this year,' he said. 'As we are now bringing a citizen's charter, now the passport will be verified within 15 days whereas police verification, character verification, tenant verification, servant verification, and employee verification (will be done) in 10 days, and the NOCs will be provided in five working days,' said the Commissioner of Police. He further said that copies of FIRs will be available at the complainant's doorstep and also on WhatsApp at the request of the complainant. Talking to The Indian Express, Goud said they will also aim for greater gender sensitisation and community participation. 'The focus will be more on economically and socially deprived sections and senior citizens,' said the Ghaziabad police commissioner. When asked about the safety and security of children, especially girls, Goud said, 'We will have a dedicated child cell for children, and the beat officers would ensure that every employee at the school is verified by the police.'

Ghaziabad police introduces tenure limits for cops
Ghaziabad: To ensure fairness and transparency in duties, Ghaziabad police commissioner J Ravinder Goud has directed to fix a maximum period of duty for sub-inspectors, head constables, and constables in three zones of the Commissionerate. Since his joining as the commissioner of police on April 17, Goud has rolled out directions for 'citizen-centric' policing. Notably, the Ghaziabad Commissionerate is divided into three zones – city, trans-Hindon and rural – each headed by a deputy commissioner of police (DCP). The latest directions state that a police sub-inspector will serve a maximum period of two years in a zone in the district, and head-constables a maximum duty period of four years in the city zone and three years each in rural and trans-Hindon zones. Likewise, a constable can perform duties for a maximum five years in a zone. 'It has come to light that many people were stationed in a particular area for many years, and such instances could give way to misuse of power while others served in remote locations. Further, every personnel should also get the opportunity to work at different places in the district. So, the arrangement was chalked out,' said DCP (city zone) Rajesh Kumar. Officers said that fixing the duty limit was based on criteria. 'In a district, a sub-inspector is allowed to serve a maximum period of six years. Likewise, the maximum period for head constables in a district is 10 years and 15 years in case of constables. So, the new arrangement was chalked out while keeping in mind the maximum period in a district. On this basis, the maximum serving period in a zone was fixed,' the DCP added. Further, in line with citizen-centric policing, about 90 police personnel of different ranks were removed from active duties in the three zones and sent to police lines. These include about 44 from rural zone, and 14 from city zone besides others in the trans-Hindon zone. Officers said that the new CP got conducted an internal inquiry which highlighted a 'negative' image of several personnel. 'Some of these personnel were not having a proper public image, while some had complaints of alcohol and laxity at work, and some even had complaints of corrupt practices. So, such personnel were identified and sent to the police line from all three zones,' the officer added. A series of latest measures taken up so far since Goud's joining include doorstep delivery of FIRs to the house of the complainants, and forbidding traffic head-constables to issue challans. As regards the cross-FIR, it has been directed that any cross-FIR complaints will be thoroughly inquired into by a different police circle, and, thereafter, it would require approval of senior officers for registration of the FIR. Likewise, removal or addition of names of suspects or addition/deletion of sections of the IPC/BNS during case investigation shall also require approval of DCPs for action under four categories of serious crime cases and that of ACPs in other cases.
