Women desks in Police Stations
Women Desks have been set up in most of the Police Stations of the State, since February 2006, under the charge of Women Police personnel, with an aim to help Women and Children seeking Police help, which they can do without any fear or inhibitions.
An exclusive Crime stopper number has been created to enable good citizens to anonymously pass on real time information to Police on crimes. This system was introduced in the Kerala Police in 1998 and the same is functioning very successfully in all Police Districts.
