PREAMBLE

Need to preserve social order led to the emergence of Police as an instrument of social control.

Demands on police for achieving quick results, while dealing with deviance and disorder, are commonplace.

This Citizen Charter seeks to create awareness about the:

Peoples' rights and duties vis-à-vis police.

Procedure prescribed by the rule of law in combating crime and criminals.

Constitutional and legal safeguards against arbitrary exercise of powers by police.

Unsustainability of expectations and demands, where follow up action presupposes transgression of legal limits or calls for bypassing or circumventing the rule of law.

People friendly initiatives taken by Chandigarh Police.
