Panchkula:
DCP Himadri Kaushik
on Saturday claimed that the response time of
emergency response vehicles
(ERV) has improved from eight to six minutes.
Addressing policemen in a review and briefing session at Tau Devi Lal Stadium, she commended the ERV staff for this achievement but also stressed the need for continuous improvement and consistency in performance.
Himadri issued key directives to the in-charges and drivers of 19 ERVs, 11 PCRs, 29 Riders, and 24 quick reaction teams (QRTs). Addressing the gathering, the DCP emphasised that all units must remain on high alert at all times to prevent any untoward incident.
During the session, DCP Kaushik instructed officers and personnel to keep a close watch on suspicious persons and vehicles. She also ordered stricter vigilance at city checkpoints.
"Negligence during patrolling will not be tolerated, and strict action will be taken in such cases," she warned.
The DCP stressed the importance of public interaction, directing officers to maintain politeness and patience during vehicle checks. "Respectful and professional behaviour builds public trust and strengthens the image of the police," she said.
DCP Kaushik also reviewed the Smart E-Beat system, stating that patrol movements are now being digitally monitored through a web-based application, which is enhancing transparency and accountability in day and night patrolling. She gave directions to improve the system for better field efficiency.
