Experience on police- community partnership
Police-community Partnership
On
the day of 14th May, 2019, our school conducted a program for the
students of grade 10 with the police community. The main motive of this program
was to create awareness among students regarding the crime actions, cyber
crimes, rules & regulations, punishment schemes and some safety measures to
crimes in Nepal. We were taught about how to react when we witness crimes and
how to tackle it in a smart way. In the program, a police officer described
about all the circumstances that one may face during crime occurrence. He had
an active presentation which created a huge impact on us.
The
whole idea of an investigation process, dealing with criminals and arresting
them was imparted. He made us clear about the difference between the criminal
and the suspect along with a perception that most of the Nepalese people
creates when a suspect is taken to a police station. We were also familiarized
about various traffic rules and signs that we need to follow but were
completely unknown about. He gave us an emergency number for safety purpose to contact
whenever we witness any crime. Since, the technology is advancing in a rapid
pace, many cyber crimes are increasing along with it. So, we were introduced to
many incidents related cyber crimes. One of the incidents was about a woman who
became a victim of cyber crime. She got a message from unknown person that she
could get an opportunity to travel to Canada if she pays the demanded amount.
She handed over the money as asked. The unknown person asked her to have a
medical test online where her video was recorded. Later, her video of medical
test was used by the culprit to blackmail her. She was threatened and asked for
a huge amount to keep her video secret. She, then, went to the police station and
reported about the incident. Finally, the criminal was arrested. This was an
example of cyber crime.
Therefore,
we were encouraged to stay alert and aware from those frauds and crimes in all
possible ways. We were also suggested not to share our personal information
like personal details, passwords, secrets etc which can be used against us or
which can drag us into problems. Even if the person is our friend or relative,
we should be very aware about whom we are sharing our information with. Moreover,
we should be more careful on social media and internet these days. It is just a
matter of click to get oneself trapped in cyber crimes. Sharing too much on
social media and accepting strangers’ friend requests should be stopped to make
oneself safe. Hence, staying alert, aware and cautious is very important to be
safe from crimes.
