CPO(Community Policing)

Ever wondered who is staying at your next door?In good old days it was the work of house wives to keep a track of neighbours activities, but at present people are too busy to socialise with their neighbours. Here comes the idea of Community Policing. A very common concept in usa but slowly catching up in India too. The man behind this happening in Bangalore is 84 yrs young Retired Army Officer Mohammed Sharif.He and his team of dedicated workers are quitely keeping watch over some pockets of the city.The work done by them is pure voluntary.They work in a close confidence with area police station.Any suspicious matter is immediately reported to the police to start the investigation.There is another help , which this community police provides and that is to get the correct information regarding any matrimony cases.Parents of Would be grooms and brides get correct information about the other party.The only qualification one needs to have to be a part of CPO is that one should be a retiree with no criminal records.Sharif wants to see a increase of strength of 1,25,000 from 7,500 community policing in his life time. All the best Mr Sharif.....
