This years general transfer of the district police staff (Assistant Sub Inspectors, Civil Head Constables and Constables) has been effected through online counselling. A specially designed software programme has been made use of for this purpose to faclitate the staff in selecting a police station/unit of their liking. In all 112 police personnel of all ranks (05 ASIs, 24 CHCs, 83 CPCs) have been transferred through this process on 09/05/2006 and the entire procedure was conducted in the presence of all these police men at the Police Guest House Conference Hall Mangalore. All the police men were made to sit accoriding to their seniority and oppurtunity was given to them turn by turn as per seniority to select a police station of their choice from the list of eligible police stations that were displayed on the screen with the help of a multi media projector. The entire process took only 04 hrs to complete.
Prior to this a proforma was circulated to all the police men eligible for transfer this year as per Govt directive (those who have put in more that 07 yrs in a particular place as on 30/04/2006) seeking various service particluars like previous posting details, native place...etc. These details were later fed into the database of the software.
The programme has been designed in such a way that by using this database it will automatically generate the list of places a particular individual is eligible to go based on certain predetermined parameters. These being:
Police station/unit where he has worked for more than 07 yrs to be excluded
Circle where he has worked for more than 10 yrs to be excluded
Sub division where he has worked for more than 15 yrs to be excluded
Police station which includes the native place of the individual to be excluded
Barring such police stations, the software will throw open all other police stations where vacancies exist and the person is free to choose any of these places.
Thus the programme while on the one hand provides wide choice of police stations for the staff to select from; on the other streamlines the administration by ensuring that persons do not remain or stay at the same place or area for a long time. The programme also helps the department in maintaining transparency, impartiality and objectivity in effecting transfers. It also helps to eliminate extraneous influnces working in the transfer process of the department.
The programme that has been developed by Prosoft Computers Belgaum under the guidance of Mr.B.Dayananda SPDK has already been used in Belgaum and Chitradurga districts in earlier years. This is the fourth year the software is being used.
