In the present day society, problems have been analyzed threadbare. The problems which have been highly complex in nature are confronted by our Police on day to day basis. These are challenges that arise out of social transformation, migration, urbanization, violence against women and a host of other issues. Simdega Police is working with utmost dedication and determination in tackling all these problems. Simdega is one of the richest districts in terms of forest resources and known for its natural beauty. But, in these days, these jungles and hills provide shelter to naxals. Till the year 2001, no naxal movement was noticed in this district. After 2001, gradually naxals' activities started picking up as the district shares borders with Orissa, Chattisgarh, Gumla,
Khunti and East Singhbhum. Regular patrolling is carried out to dominate the area and special operations are carried out on specific information. Motor cycle born quick reaction teams (QRT) have been formed which have very less reaction time. Here, the incident of Bansjor O.P. is worth mentioning. On the day of 2nd January,2008, naxals attacked Bansjor O.P. in large number with fire arms, bombs, petrol bombs, etc,. But our police personnel fought valiantly and retaliated back so that naxals had to flee away. I am very happy to mention 13 police personnel who fought bravely were were given out of turn promotions and 6 home guards were given the police constables' jobs. In the recent past, many naxals were arrested by Simdega Police and arms and ammunition were recovered in considerable number. Even though, Simdega Police is giving much time for tackling naxal problem, it is not lagging behind in keeping crime under control and maintaining law and order which are bedrock for the function of Policing. Common people of Simdega are simple and docile and therefore the crime rate of district is very low. But, as NH- 23, which connects Orissa and Jharkhand, passes through Simdega and maximum length runs through jungles, road robberies and road dacoities are reported frequently. With regular " ghati" patrols and joint operations with Orissa Police, this road-borne crime was kept under control. Police in a democratic polity can discharge its duties effectively only with the co-operation of the people. Public assistance is needed for prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of cases, and also for maintaining peace . To succeed in this task of building good rapport with the public, Simdega Police is doing massive community policing work and distributed many articles for needy people. In this year 2008, we took a commendable step by adopting one village each by every police station in the district. This type of Community Policing in the district started yielding the desired results as public stared co-operating with police.With conviction, I can say that Simdega Police is striving hard to live up to the heightened demands for better security while meeting the strictures of a criminal justice system there by creating crime- free society to live in.
