Bengaluru, Aug 28: Police department has taken the matter of police personnel violating traffic rules as serious and warned of strict action against the offenders.
In recent days, it is common to see public posting pictures of policemen violating traffic rules blatantly. As this is harming the prestige and image of the police department, a circular has been sent to all departments, especially those who drive the vehicles not to violate any rules.
A senior police officer said that this action has been taken after public started reporting blatant violation of traffic rules by police department personnel itself. Generally commoners click photos or make videos of such instances and post the same on social media. The image of the police department gets harmed due to such acts of irresponsible policemen.

“Police are a disciplined lot and they should uphold the rules. If they only violate the norms, the whole police department falls in the eyes of the public. So the personnel have been asked to follow all rules without fail and be a role model to commoners,” said a senior police officer.
