Empowering adolescent girls through awareness programme, the Jharkhand police way

Ranchi, May 5 (UNI) In a novel awareness initiative, a police station in Jharkhand welcomed a group of school girls in its premises and briefed them about police functions and procedures.
The Medininagar Town Police Station in Palamu district organised the programme as part of efforts to empower adolescent girls and make them self-reliant and aware.
A group of Class 9 students from KG CM Excellence School, Medininagar, visited the police station, where they were given a tour of the premises.
The programme was organised under the guidance and direction of the district Superintendent of Police, who had instructed all station house officers to educate students, especially girls, about police procedures and emergency services like Dial 112.
During the programme, Station House Officer Shah and other officials explained to the students how FIRs are registered, how police respond to crime scenes, and the process of arresting and detaining accused individuals. The students were given practical insights into these procedures.
The students appreciated the experience, with many saying they previously feared the police but now understand their role as protectors of citizens. They were also informed about online FIR registration, and police equipment like pistols.
The students were treated to refreshments, and their accompanying teachers were honoured with a plant sapling, a police official said in a media release. The police station ensured all necessary security arrangements during the visit.
The initiative aims to build trust between the police and the public while empowering the next generation with knowledge and awareness. UNI XC AKT SSP
