Institutional anti-corruption measures are critical for maintaining public trust and accountability within law enforcement agencies.
In a move to fight corruption internally, the Coimbatore City Police have come up with a Vigilance Cell to track allegations of corruption against personnel.
Sources said that the cell will have a Sub-Inspector and a policeman, who have been appointed by the Commissioner of Police N. Kannan, based on instructions from the higher-ups.
The cell will track complaints and allegations of corruption, if any, against personnel of the city police. It will conduct discreet inquiry and report directly to the Commissioner for further action.
Officers in the know of the initiative said that the idea behind the formation of the cell was to keep the force free of corruption and nip the corrupt practices in the bud. The cell will function as per a standard operating procedure (SOP) introduced by the Tamil Nadu Police Department to fight corruption in the force across the State.
