According to Asian standards, Barakhamba Road police station in New Delhi has been rated the best police station after it scored the maximum points in a global survey carried out across 1,340 police stations in 22 countries. Delhi Police had participated in a Global Police Station Visitors Week organized by Altus Global Alliance. Forty-five police stations were randomly thrown open for assessment and around 5,000 Delhiites took part in the inspection between November 4 and 9 last year. They were asked to fill a survey form which included a questionnaire with five parameters—community orientation, physical conditions, equal treatment, transparency and accountability, and detention conditions. We asked people if the station had a welcoming ambience, helped citizens to use police services with allocated space for reception, if there were displays explaining citizen rights, how to report a crime, etc, said an officer. The average score of Delhis stations was 83.38. The then SHO of Barakhamba Road police station, inspector Satish Sharma, and addl DCP (New Delhi) Madhur Verma will be felicitated at International Conference on Police Reforms on June 6 at Antigua, Guatemala.
