Every denizen of Ranchi appreciated Ranchi Police when it recovered full amount of Rs. 1.5 crores which was looted in Syndicate Bank within 6 hrs of the incident taking place. So far Ranchi Police has caught many gangs involved in road dacoity, house burglary, loot in shops etc,.

The Ranchi Police is using all means like priority trials, disposal of pending cases, Crime Control Act (CC Act) to contain the crime. Ranchi Police succeeded in effectively utilizing the CC Act against notorious criminals like Dhananjay Pradhan, Manoj Bhagat and Shravan Chauhan etc.

Ranchi Police is giving utmost priority to be a people friendly force. In this regard, Ranchi Police launched an innovative programme known as Friends Of Police (FOP) in which public became friends of Police and helped Police in maintaining law and order as well as crime control. It became a huge success and the recent Dusshera and Ramzan festivals are evidences for this. Ranchi Police celebrated the week (August 2nd to 8th ) as TraffikcWeek to make public aware of traffic rules. In this main targeted group is school going children. Other groups of society were also included in this programme. This turned out to be a huge success and people from all walks of life appreciated a lot the efforts of Ranchi Police in this regard.

Ranchi Police is in fore front in fighting with naxals. Many anti-naxal operations have been carried out so far. Ranchi Police launched many joint operations with West Bengal Police also. Special Operations like Beta, Tiger, Panther, Black Panther, Sigma, Clean, and Alpha-2 are some of most successful operations in which many naxal leaders were arrested and lot of arms and ammunition were recovered. Ranchi Police is doing community policing on massive scale in both rural and urban areas. Urban Community Policing is mainly targeted to include people in Policing to control the crime whereas rural community policing is targeting the containment of spread of naxal problem. Main thing is that Ranchi Police proved successful on both fronts. Our utmost priority is to make the Police more people friendly and sensitive to the needs of the downtrodden section of society.

Major crime which is very frequent in the district of Ranchi is murder. In rural as well as urban Ranchi, due to “land related disputes”, murders have been reported in considerable number. Other major crimes like kidnapping for ransom, killing for Rangdari tax, threat for extortion, dacoities are also reported in high number. Due to dense forest and naxal problem, road robberies/ dacoities are committed in state highways.

The chart below depicts the general crime scenario of the district.

As Ranchi district is sharing borders with other districts like Saraikhela, Chatra, Palamu, Bokaro, Jamshedpur and Purulia district of West Bengal (all are naxal affected areas), rural Ranchi is facing naxal problem in high intensity. Bundu sub-division is the most affected one. Bundu, Tamar, Sonahatu, Silli, Angada, Pithoria and Burmu police stations are under category A. Khelari, Sikidiri, Chanho, Kanke and Lapung police stations are under category B.

FOP member can also act as a check on any abuse of police power because of easy accessibility of senior police officers.
