Malkajgiri police launch ‘Sahachari’ community policing initiative, train 3,000 SHG women
The Malkajgiri police have launched the 'Sahachari' initiative to train 3,000 women from self-help groups in crime prevention and community safety. The program focuses on legal rights, cybercrime awareness, and strengthening the relationship between the public and law enforcement.
Why it matters
This community policing model aims to empower women and improve safety outcomes in urban areas by fostering direct cooperation between citizens and police.
Malkajgiri police on Tuesday launched Sahachari, a community policing initiative aimed at empowering women to become partners in crime prevention and promoting safety in their neighbourhoods.
The programme, organised in coordination with the Mission for Elimination of Poverty in Municipal Areas (MEPMA) and the Society for Elimination of Rural Poverty (SERP), was held simultaneously in Bowenpally for participants from the Malkajgiri zone and in Nagole for women from the L.B. Nagar and Uppal zones. Nearly 3,000 women from self-help groups from across the Commissionerate limits participated.
The initiative seeks to create a grassroot network of community safety ambassadors by equipping women with awareness of their legal rights, personal safety and the support services offered by the police.
