Dear Readers,
Safety and security of the citizen is paramount importance to Kolkata Police. Its inclusive efforts for the set goal, in some cases inspire other counterparts. An endeavour to offer quality law education to its in-service and retired personnel and their wards has widened its area of diversied roles. Kolkata Police Law Institute is perhaps the rst of its kind in the country which has set up basically to educate its human resources with law degrees. Law degree would enhance the professional skill of the cops to empathise gray areas in investigation, trial and provision of law and to bridge the gap accordingly in the criminal justice delivery system. Kolkata Police Law Institute with a state of art library has a plan to introduce PG degree in Law in near future and to make it a centre of excellence. In this issue of Kolkata Protector, we have made an effort to detail about this premium law education college in the city.

Besides, observing Road Safety Week, an NGO has been associated with Kolkata Police to make a sustained effort in this regard. These aspects have also highlighted in this issue. Eight women police stations in the city have meanwhile extended their roles for providing special protection to the women. There is an article on women police stations to light upon their functions. Disaster Management Group rescues people trapped and marooned in disaster and natural calamities. DC (Combat Battalion) has contributed an article about their functions and responsibilities. An article is elucidated on the crucial role of Bomb Disposal Squad also plays a vital role by receiving phone calls, reaching at the spot and defusing bombs in the face of threat perception. A prole of Kolkata Police Family Welfare Centre has also been painted through an article. Pronam- a community policing project under the aegis of Kolkata Police has been introduced in all the police station to provide all possible supports to Senior Citizens.
