Purpose of Visit
Following were the objectives for our visit to police station:-
INTRODUCTION
The necessity to maintain peace and keeping law and order in the society led to
the
Establishment of law enforcing agency in the form of Police. The word “police” is
Derived from a Latin word “politia” which stands for state or administration.
Article 246
Of the Indian constitution has made police a state subject but Kolkata Police
comes under
Concurrent list and functions under Central Government.

India. The Police is undertaking the following activities:-

Was a reception which consisted of a big wooden table. It was headed by a Constable. It is a
place from where the complaint is directed to the respective duty officer. No FIR is lodged in
this section but only the entries are done.

Women Help Desk has been created. A lady constable is present at this help desk
Who deals with the women who are either complainants or needs some information.

Officer about the report. He maintains the daily diary and puts entry in them. In case
