City police commissioner Supratim Sarkar on Monday asked officers in charge of police stations to be more “visible”, “empathetic” and “responsive” towards people who come in times of distress. Sarkar was speaking at his first crime conference after taking charge as Kolkata Police commissioner on January 31. The meeting, held at the Alipore Bodyguard Lines on Monday afternoon, was attended by officers of the rank of inspector and above. Sources said Sarkar reiterated on Monday that no complaint should be refused on the grounds of a “jurisdiction conflict”. Sarkar also asked officers to focus equally on traditional crimes and cyber crimes.
