Policemen on patrol can now give a hot chase to bike-borne offenders. More than 110 beat officers in the west zone have got 160cc motorbikes to patrol the streets day and night. Chain snatchers, who usually come on bikes, will be among the patrol officer's targets.
The beat officers will go on rounds in three shifts to keep anti-social elements at bay. Prevention of crime on the streets is the main objective of beat officers. The very presence of police would deter criminals from carrying out illegal activities, they believe.
"The idea is to infuse confidence in the minds of the public. We will identify interior areas that are crime-prone. The two-wheelers will help our men reach narrow lanes where four-wheelers cannot enter," said ACP (law and order ) P Thamaraikannan.
