Jammu, May 21:
In a major push to fortify regional security and modernize law enforcement infrastructure, Sandeep Wazir, the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of the Rajouri-Poonch Range, chaired a high-level DGP/IGP-level conference at the District Police Office (DPO) Poonch today.
The comprehensive strategy meet brought together the district’s top brass—including SSP Poonch Shafket Hussain, the Additional SP (Ops), all supervisory officers, and Station House Officers (SHOs)—to address emerging security challenges, cyber warfare, and tactical policing.
A Multi-Front Strategy for Modern Challenges
The conference served as a critical operational crucible, moving beyond standard administrative reviews to focus heavily on modernizing field-level policing. Officers delivered data-driven PowerPoint presentations mapping out contemporary threats and outlining tactical best practices.
The core deliberations centered on six pillars of priority enforcement:
-
Counter-Terrorism Strategies: Reinforcing the overall security grid through tighter inter-agency intelligence coordination.
-
Cybercrime Investigation: Deploying advanced technological tools to track and neutralize digital and financial offenses.
-
Narcotics Eradication: Intensifying targeted crackdowns to dismantle drug trafficking rings under the “Nasha Mukt Jammu & Kashmir Abhiyan.”
-
Quality Investigation Standards: Elevating the legal and forensic benchmarks required for timely, airtight case disposals.
-
Public Grievance Redressal: Implementing transparent, time-bound mechanisms to address civilian complaints.
-
Community Policing: Strengthening grassroots outreach to rebuild local intelligence networks and foster deeper public trust.
“Professionalism & Technology”: The DIG’s Mandate
Addressing the gathered commanders, DIG Sandeep Wazir issued a clear directive: policing must evolve to balance ironclad operational readiness with an approachable, citizen-centric demeanor.
“We must maintain the highest standards of professionalism and discipline. The optimum use of technology is no longer optional—it is the key to driving efficiency, ensuring transparency, and earning public trust.”

The DIG explicitly instructed officers to remain highly proactive against emerging cross-border and digital security threats, demanding better synchronization across various police units and sister security agencies to ensure the border district remains impenetrable.
The Road Ahead
The high-stakes meeting concluded with actionable blueprints aimed at refining field operations. Moving forward, the Poonch Police are set to implement stricter supervision protocols and enhanced intelligence sharing, signaling a robust, highly responsive shift in how the district tackles both conventional crime and modern subversion.
