The interaction of Police with public is of considerable impotance as compared to the other departments. This attempt will help the common man to know Lohardaga Police better- especially with respect to the aspects relating to our functioning and community Policing. Lohardaga has a chequered history. In 1854, Lohardaga was a commissionary town. In 1871 it became a district town and in 1899, it even lost the status of a district. It was only in 1983 that the status of district got restored back.The geography of this district plays a major role in the crime and security scenario in the district. The district is having dense forests which offer hideouts to the naxals and Bauxite mining is the major economic activity. Herein lies the main interest of naxals for collecting levy from bauxite mining and transportation industry. Lohardaga is a 'A' grade naxal infested district. Four police stations are fully and the town Police Station is partially affected. To combat the naxal menace, the Police in Lohardaga is employing all the lawful and needful tactics. At present, all the five Police Stations and other establishments have been fortified and strengthened. The available force is well trained and equipped to tackle the naxal menace. The bauxite mining areas have been provided with ample force for safe mining. The Police personnel are regularly being trained for better performance. During the last one year, sustained efforts by Police has resulted in fewer incidents of naxal violence in the district. Long Range Patrolling, Raids, intelligence- based special operations have proved to be of great help. Community Policing is one of the corner stones of this district.We have conducted Janta Darbar in far flung and remote areas. We have also organized sports events and distributed various items to the needy ones. Construction and fortification works for all the five Police Stations is either complete or under progress. The process for construction work of Police Line is also in pipeline. Lohardaga Police is commited to provide a safe and secure environment for overall progress and prosperity with a promise to be always at your service.

It is a matter of immense joy for me to be a part of this esteemed district of Lohardaga. It is my pleasure to inform the people of Lohardaga that Jharkhand police website is going to be commissioned shortly and our district is also a part of it. Eventhough, Lohardaga being a highly naxal infested district with uneven and undulating terrain but I have undergone very good memories and experiences of this district. The poor and rich , tillers and miners, men and women have all cooperated with me and my police men for combating the naxal menace and other criminal activities . The support given to me by all of you from different walk of lives has emboldened me and my police men to go deep into the jungles and hills to take into the naxal outfits. My noble exercise of community policing has reached a new height with your cooperation only.

I am honest here to confess that we police men are also a human being  so we can also be wrong or at fault sometime .So, please forgive us for any wrong doing and keep us cooperating  with your zeal and thirst- as you have done earlier .

Thanking you for your cooperation.
