    Mangalore city police commissioner, Mr. Seemanth Kumar Singh is doing a wonderful job and the corporate houses like Infosys and others should give them technical guidance because they are exposed to worldwide policing. Our police departments are far superior when compared to other region still they need lot of improvement to get the best tag.
    The police station should be equipped with CCTV to check the biased officials and torture of innocent people. The police officials should be an example of fitness but majority of their senior officials are either pot-bellied or unfit. In line with the developed countries, they should treat different types of accident accused with gentle approach of greetings and politely take their statement so that this will calm down the anxiety of the accused.
    The police should stop the practice of fining on the spot instead take the DL of the accused and immediately give them a challan describing the nature of offence. The accused should collect the same from the designated police station by paying the fine in front a CCTV.
    All the vehicles should have standard number plates obtained from authorized dealers only and get their approval from the RTO by getting a vigilance camera sensitive electronic button fixed to the front number plate of their vehicle... etc...
