As part of the police image project and to ensure visible policing, Tamil Nadu Director General of Police D Mukherjee launched a round-the-clock 'Bike Patrol System' in Coimbatore recently.

Thirty motorcycles are being utilised for this scheme and 180 head constables would use them in three shifts, round the clock, city police commissioner C K Gandhirajan said.

Crime-prone areas in each police station had already been identified and the team would move through even lanes and bylanes, he said.

Saying that the movement of the teams would be constantly monitored by the control room and assistant commissioners, Gandhirajan said the team had been provided with VHF handset and cell phone would be supplied to them in due course.

Any call to the telephone number 100 would be attended by this team, including law and order issues, Gandhirajan said.

Anti-chain snatching squad and crime-stoppers teams were already in service with a strength of 120 head constables, with 30 motorcycles, to which 10 have been added now. (Agencies)
