Hello!
Police Station – How Kerala Police Is Connecting with People Like Never Before
When we think about the police, in our minds, uniforms, sirens, strict and law enforcement.
But when comes to Kerala, the police are writing a new story — one that begins
with connection, trust, and technology. One of the highligted steps in this direction was the “Hello Kerala
Police” project
‘Hello! Kerala Police, was a scheme implemented by the Kerala government
during the tenure of Chief Minister Achuthanathan. The ‘Hello Kerala Police’
Project was formally inaugurated by Home Minister Shri. Kodiyeri Balakrishnan.
The 'Hello, Kerala Police’ project has been launched with the intention of
connecting people from the DGP to constables through the police. At the same
time, it creates a channel of communication between the officers. Through this
scheme, local people can contact the police station and avoid traveling to the
station as much as possible, and at the same time, police can get information
about crimes, accidents, and the escape of criminals through phone calls or
SMS. This scheme helps to inform all stations in time about a crime committed
anywhere in Kerala. Now, after this, several states have introduced such
schemes.
But Kerala Police never stop there. The above
initiative became the starting point for a whole new era of people-friendly
policing (Jamithri). Here are some of Kerala Police’s remarkable programmes
that continue this mission.

The
Hello Kerala Police project stamped as a turning point in the history of
policing in Kerala — transforming the police department from just a force that
only responds, to a service that connects and communicates. By the years and
over the years Kerala Police has continued this journey through just initiative
like Janamaithri Suraksha, Smart Police Stations, Student Police Cadets, and
Cyberdome, each reflecting a commitment to transparency, technology, and trust.
By
binding the bridge between compassion with modern tools, Kerala Police has
shown that they can do it with out power but the partnership
As
the public and boundary grows with more complex and in digital, the connection
between citizens and police must grow stronger too.
