After training Delhi Home Guards in Gandhian values, a programme initiated by the Gandhi Smriti and Gandhi Darshan will now hold sessions with the Delhi Police's Special Unit. Over 50 personnel from the Investigating Officers and Counselors of the Special Unit of the Delhi Police will be given an orientation on non-violent communication and non-violent conflict resolution in the National Capital. The programme has included sessions to help give the citizens of Delhi a better policing experience.

"Mahatma's ideas of a non-violent police force and enhanced police-citizen engagement to handle crime are relevant now more than ever before. Non-violent action can be used while upholding the law of the land. The aim of the police must not only be to respect, but also protect the rights guaranteed to each citizen by the Constitution," says Vedabhyas Kundu, Programme Officer, Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti, the National Memorial of Mahatma Gandhi.

Under the programme started in the Capital in January, several sessions have already been conducted where 4,500 home guards have been given training on resolving issues and communicating non-violently. 
The objective of the programme is to work on an enhanced police-public co-operation, public participation in crime prevention and effect positive changes in the public perception of the image of the police.

The two-day session for Special Unit starts on June 19 at the Police Training College in Malviya Nagar.

"The training is not only beneficial for their work but it helps also them with their day-to-day work. The guards now have a list of different techniques of non-violent conflict resolution and have been applying them in their work situation. Some of them have even come up and asked for another session," says DS Rawat, Commandant Training, Directorate General of Home Guards and Civil Defence.
