On November 4th, 2019, students of Grade 8 and 9 went to Metropolitan Police Office located near Durbar Marg also known as, महानगरीय प्रहरी कार्यालय, where we talked on different things like a collaboration of community and police ( i.e., community police partnership), a nationwide program which was established on 11th of Kartik, 2075.
The program includes lots of schools nationwide making students aware of different illegal activities and covers different topics like cybercrime, road accidents, human trafficking, child labor, etc with students. It mainly prioritizes self-defense. The program mobilizes more than 56 control room vehicles around the valley and also monitors up to 535 CCTV cameras. For Emergency Responsive Units (ERU), there are ten NTC, five NCELL, and one smart cell number where people can call to police.
We then talked to the in-charge of the metropolitan police officer (DIG), Mr. Sailesh Thapa about Crime Triangle which covers three points: Intension, Capacity, and Opportunity. Then, we talked about different crimes. Mainly we talked about rape which has been increasing day by day. He shared that more than 1480 rape cases have been registered in the previous year alone.
Then, we asked some questions to the DIG. After the completion of the program, we had black tea and some biscuit, then we came to school.
