E-Patrol Launch

The e-Patrol is a unique and innovative modern policing system which seeks to address patrolling challenges by bringing the patrolling activities on a digital platform. This system will ensure a more robust patrolling system which will seek to increase patrolling activities in all wards/colonies/villages and ensure greater security for the citizens as well as reduce and mitigate criminal activities. The e-Patrol system is also supplemented with bike-borne patrolling personnel for quick and efficient patrolling.

An ‘elite force’ called the Special Task Force (STF) has been formed in Nagaland. The STF has be given special training on weapon-handling and other useful tactics. They are be equipped with best weapons, equipments, and mobility. The first batch of STF successfully completed 3 months Training Course at CIATS Ruzaphema on 23/07/2019.

Under the guidance of the Director General of Police, Nagaland a new initiative has been undertaken by the Inspector General of Police (Range), Nagaland Sonia Singh IPS, called ‘Police Ke Pathshala’ to reach out to the student community and create awareness about policing. This project is envisioned to enlighten the students about the ‘Rule of Law’ and impress upon the paramount necessity of preserving Law and Order for development of the society.


The project emphasises on Schools and Educational Institutions as its main platform for sensitization on various topics/subjects pertaining to policing.  The initiative first  started on 31 August 2018 at Little Flower Hr. Sec School kohima where  more than 500 students attended the programme on the following issues.

  • Cyber Crime (Cyber stalking, Voyeurism, Defamaion, Revenge porn especially against women)
  • Community Policing
  • Crimes against women
  • Road safety
  • Self Defence
  • Criminal law ammedments
  • Women empowerment
  • Bridging gap between Public and Police

It is further envisaged to extend this initiative to all Higher Secondary Schools and Colleges in Nagaland whereby Police officers visit schools and give presentations, hold interactive sessions with the students, conduct Essay Competitions, give out printed materials as well as invite Teachers & Students to get firsthand experience of how the Police Department functions.


This project is necessitated as despite having enactment of good Laws for protection of citizens for Peace and Prosperity, it has remained largely in paper. It is felt that students are the future citizens and the noble ideals of the Laws must in ingrained in them for the effect of implementation.


IGP (Range) Smti. Sonia Singh also stated that the endeavour of this initiative it to make “Public – Police Relations” a key aspect of Policing, where the image of the police is built as the protector of their citizen’s rights and in their service. Police Department looks forward to active participation of Staff and Students for better co-ordination and conducive Public – Police Relations.

Nagaland has become the 2nd NE state to launch such a force for maintaining the safety and security of tourists during the Hornbill Festival.

 

The primary role of the tourist police will be to provide facilitation, guidance, safety and security to foreign and domestic tourists. It will also help in providing transport & lodging, while working to safeguard tourists from cheats, bag lifters, pickpockets, eve- teasing, molestation, drugging etc.

It will also guide tourist on matters relating to passport, visas, residential permits, exchange of foreign currency and on immigrations issues.

Recently Nagaland Police arrested and Charge sheeted the Chairman and Managing Director (MD) of the Company-Everlight Realcon Infrastructure Limited (ERIL)  Shri Biplap Kumar Dey for duping and cheating unsuspecting depositors /investors and swindling crores of rupees. The same Person is wanted in other States as well in similar cases. During the course of investigation it was ascertained that the company (ERIL) was incorporated under the Companies Act 1956 and promised 100% secured investment under two schemes (a) Advance Products Booking (APB) and (b) Redeemable Preferential Shares (RPS). Initially the company had various products like electronics, household products etc against Advance Product Booking but later, the system of the company changed and it became more or less a money business offering huge returns in interest for investment under both APB and RPS. Thus the company was engaged in a Ponzi Scam accepting deposits from unsuspecting investors which they were not allowed under law. It was also admitted by  the MD of the Company that the system of the company was a failure and that it had been circulating the money of the investors only. The modus operandi of the company was to establish its credibility by stating that the company was engaged in various projects like hospitals, mines, infrastructure etc.; by organizing programs such as materials donations, blood donation camps, orphanages visits and by engaging state functionaries as Chief guests in the Company’s functions. However, during investigation, it was found out that there were no such properties, assets or projects of the company and that it was engaged only in fund mobilization promising huge returns, which the company failed to pay the investors later.


Therefore, citizens are once again warned not to invest in any kind of schemes/Products that promise huge returns in short span of time. Any such scheme is illegal and therefore should be avoided at all cost. Remember that even the interest rates offered by Banks vary between 5%-9% only. If any company or organization offers anyone such schemes, kindly report to Police immediately!

This is a project designed for students and initiated by Shri, Joseph Hesso, IPS, Sr, Superintendent of Police, Kohima, Nagaland, this is aimed at educating the students on basic traffic awareness and also the general laws and the full form of SLATE stands for ‘Students Law and Traffic Education’. The students have been specifically targeted because they are the ‘FUTURE’ and we aim to let them grow up to love and respect the law. With this in mind, under this project basic knowledge on traffic signs, traffic signals and traffic laws including basic general laws like law of arrest and search, how and what to report to Police, what to see and observe and most importantly the cyber crime were imparted to the high school and higher secondary student. At a later stage the college and university students will also be targeted for implementation.

 

The second phase will be “Safe – Street” covering both the topics but in a different level which will be at a later stage. At present, with the ever increasing number of vehicles and no corresponding expansion of roads, traffic management has become very important. True traffic management is the responsibility of traffic police however, civic sense and everybody’s contribution towards traffic problem is very important. Traffic congestion cannot be wiped out altogether however, a little bit of awareness and judicious use of road will ease the traffic problems to a great extend, though there has been quantum increase on road users/drivers, most of them are self taught drivers. In the past there were no driving schools and though some driving schools have come up, there are no regulations and trained authorized instructors are very few. Moreover, no driving tests are conducted for one to acquire a driving license. The result is what we see today on our roads – hap hazard parking’s, parking everywhere, improper use of signal lights and so on and so forth. The other part of the programme was on law. Here we imparted a little bit of awareness on few basic duties of a citizen as age is not a factor to be a responsible citizen. The citizens were also taught on their rights and the procedures to be followed by Police during arrest and searches. Another very important thing taken up is use of  mobile phones and  surfing the net as it was observed that many people are misusing it and committing crimes and unless properly used one can be booked under the law. With these objectives in mind, coinciding with the inaugural programme we organized an essay competition for high school students on “Traffic Awareness” and General Laws for higher secondary students on “Cyber Crime” and participants from the below noted Schools participated and winners were given cash reward with a certificate signed by the DGP Nagaland.

  1. G. Rio Higher Secondary School
  2. Razhukhrie Govt. Higher Secondary School
  3. Little Flower Higher Secondary School
  4. Northfield Higher Secondary School
  5. Baptist Higher Secondary School
  6. Mezhur Higher Secondary School

Moreover, the participating schools in Kohima were visited by Unit officers and students were apprised on the topics – Traffic Awareness, Cyber Crime and General Laws by means of Power Point presentation.

Is a strategy of policing that focuses on police building ties and working closely with members of the communities. It is a policy that requires police to inherit a proactive approach to address public safety concerns. Community policing is a collaborative effort between Police and Community to identify problems of crime, disorder and involves all elements of the community in the search for solutions to these problems. This concept brings the police and community into a closer working relationship and calls for greater responsibility on citizens.

Role of police includes:

  • Maintenance of order and peace,
  • Security, safety of the people and property.
  • Ensure effective enforcement of law.
  • Detection of crimes
  • Orderly flow of traffic in urban areas and in highways and lot more.

Thus discussing the objective of Police in relevance to community, reveals to concept of community policing which ideally is Policing, as far as possible and practicable, by the community itself which means that any or all the functions mentioned above may be performed by the community to the extent they can and the remaining functions to be performed by the police with the assistance and involvement of the community to the maximum extent possible. Thus, citizens can form groups within the society or the area they live or work. Such social group can enroll themselves with the Police and work hand in hand with Police to solve problems, minimize disorders in the society and thus achieve the very objective of Community Policing.

This was the guiding force for Kohima Police to launch the Police – Community relations. Though informally efforts in this direction had been made at different levels earlier but a concerted deliberate and formal effort was launched in 2016. A new format was particularly designed for the job and circulated to police patrol teams both mobile and foot patrol. The patrol teams patrolling a certain stretch/colony/locality is required to obtain the name, contact number and signature of a prominent person either a public leader or government official of the locality and assess the law and order situation of the area. With this in force, the Kohima Police have been able to fight the menace of crime with the assistance of public to a great extent and thus community policing is aimed to encourage members of the public to play a part in detecting crime by giving information to police.
The Kohima District Road Safety Committee launched its comprehensive road safety and traffic awareness initiatives starting January 21, 2026, at the DC Office in Kohima. [1]
Key Highlights of Traffic & Road Safety Initiatives in Kohima (2026)
  • National Road Safety Month Launch: Chaired by Deputy Commissioner B. Henok Buchem, the district kicked off intensive road safety activities and stakeholder awareness programs across Kohima. [1]
  • Community & Police Outreach: The Kohima Traffic Police organized awareness drives—such as sessions at the High School area panchayat hall—educating drivers and locals on the Motor Vehicle Act 1988, Road Safe Driving Regulations 2017, proper helmet and seatbelt usage, and emergency first-responder etiquette. [1]
  • Kohima Road Safety Awards: The district administration honored local bodies like the Upper Jail Colony Panchayat, Jotsoma Youth Organisation, Kezoma Village Council, Naga Bazaar Youth Organisation, and Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) personnel for exemplary community-led traffic regulation and parking management.

The Traffic Awareness Week in collaboration with volunteers from Kohima Village Youth Organization was observed from March 30 to April 2, 2016 at Kohima. The purpose of the Traffic Awareness Week was to make people understand the importance of road safety as road traffic accidents have become the single largest threat to our community. The theme of the Traffic Awareness Week was “Safety, No Road Accident”. The general public of Kohima participated enthusiastically at the awareness programme on March 30 at 0900 hrs in front of WHQ (Wireless Headquarter) Office below PHQ Kohima. Shri L.L. Doungel, IPS, DGP Nagaland was the chief guest on the occasion. The Kohima police also delivered lectures on road safety alongwith demonstration of traffic hand signals on March 31 at G. Rio Higher Secondary School and at Mezhur Higher Secondary School. The programme was followed by issuing of “Flyers” to the school children’s to create awareness and to get familiarize with the Traffic Rules and Traffic Signals. To follow-up with the awareness programme, the police drivers including those attached to Senior Police Officers in Kohima and all the drivers posted at Secretariat Kohima were imparted with an orientation course on “Rules of the Road Regulations” to ensure an orderly traffic and a safer journey.

A two days workshop on gender sensitization on violence against women & new laws for change started on April 24, 2016 at the SP Office Conference Hall, Kohima. Organized by DEF Kohima in collaboration with North East Network (NEN), the objective of the workshop was to broaden the understanding of violence against women in India from a gender and women’s rights perspective, working with the new laws for change and the role of police i.e sexual harassment of women at workplace, domestic violence act, criminal law amendment act and POSCO. Shri Akheto Sema, IPS, ADG (Law & Order) as the chief guest, graced the inaugural session. Short speeches were delivered by Sr. Superintendent of Police and Dr. Anungla Aier, Principal, Science College Jotsoma and member, Governing Board NEN. Dr. Anungla Aier gave a brief introduction about the NEN, which has been working in Nagaland for the last 20 years not only advocating for gender equality but on livelihood issues. Aier was of the view that natural resource management, livelihood issues are connected to gender issues. Further stating how Naga women and outsiders tend to think that women in Nagaland are the most privileged women in the country, which externally appears to be true but so much of patriarchal values are incorporated in the everyday life of the Naga society that Nagas do not realize the inequality and discrimination. Both genders are equally responsible, stated Aier who also added, “Culture conditions our entire thinking process. In the name of protecting our culture, lots of human rights violations are committed.” Shri Akheto Sema said that we tend to forget that we are actually dealing with the people who are most stigmatized by society. Pointing out that the police tend to become insensitive in their everyday dealings, he urged the officers to put themselves into the shoes of the victims, to be sensible and try to act as per the situation and circumstances. He admitted that there is often an inbuilt biasness that Nagas have towards women and that everyone has all exercised it at one point of time. Further focusing on respect and sensibility, he stated that unless one has respect for the other gender, one cannot become sensitive towards them. In conclusion, he outlined that sensibility must come with sensitization and added, “Sensibility is to understand and to act on it. The participants of the workshop comprised of Sub-inspectors and Inspectors with Mezivolu T Therieh, Chief Judicial Magistrate and Civil Judge, Anurita P Hazarika, Program Manager NEN and Ashipri Zho, Advocate as the resource team. The workshop engaged the participants on understanding women’s rights and equality, on gender, patriarchy and violence against women, new laws and responsibilities of police, protection of children from sexual offences etc.

In collaboration with Urban Development Department, a Children’s Park at New Police Reserve under “Project AMRUT” was constructed. Development of green space and parks with special provision for child-friendly components was a priority for the Unit. We recognize that the social skills that children develop on the playground often become lifelong skill sets that are carried forward into their adulthood. Playgrounds are among the most important environments for children outside the home. Exciting, engaging and challenging playground equipment is important to keep children happy while still developing their learning abilities. These should be developed in order to suit different groups of children for different stages of learning. There is a general consensus that physical activity reduces the risk of psychological problems in children and fosters their self-esteem. Playgrounds provide an ideal opportunity for children to master physical skills, such as learning to swing, balance and climb. For many children, it is their favorite time of day when they get to be on the playground for free time. It acts as a release for them from the pressures of learning during the day. They know that time on the playground is their own time. With all these in perspective, the children’s park at New Reserve was setup for wards of police personnel.
