Discipline and good behaviour important in Police Department: Retd. SP Shivakumaraiah

Mysore/Mysuru: “Discipline and behaviour are very important aspects in the Police Department. How we should behave in the society and what society expects from us is decided by our discipline and behaviour. Hence, it is discipline which shapes our behaviour,�? said retired Superintendent of Police (SP) Shivakumaraiah.

He was speaking as the chief guest at the Police Flag Day celebration, organised jointly by Mysuru City Police, Mounted Police, Karnataka Police Academy, Mysuru District Police, Karnataka State Reserve Police (KSRP) 5th Battalion, Police Training School, State Intelligence, Directorate of Civil right Enforcement (DCRE), Lokayukta, Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB), Chamundeshwari Electricity Supply Corporation (CESC) and Internal Security Division (ISD) at City Armed Reserve (CAR) Parade Grounds at the foot of Chamundi Hill yesterday.

Pointing out that before 1956 a few districts of Madras Province, Hyderabad Province and Bombay Province had adopted Police Acts in a haphazard way instead of a methodical way, Shivakumaraiah said that in 1963, Mysore was considered as a large State, Acts were modified and a Committee was formed to bring in uniform Acts.

“Based on the recommendations of the Committee, on Apr. 2, 1965, uniform Acts were brought and in this backdrop, the day is celebrated as Police Flag Day,�? he said and added that this day is also announced as the Welfare Day for retired Police officials and staff during which small flags are sold and the amount got from it will be used to extend help for retired Police staff.

Retired Police personnel were felicitated on the occasion.

Inspector General of Police (IGP-Southern Range) Pravin Madhukar Pawar, City Police Commissioner Dr. Chandragupta, Superintendent of Police (SP) R. Chethan, Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP-Law and Order) Pradeep Gunti and DCP (Crime & Traffic) M.S.
