Police Department invites the local community to partner with them in the fight against crime. Play your part as a responsible citizen by sharing any useful information regarding an unsolved crime in your neighborhood.
An FIR is an account of a cognizable (i.e. over which police has jurisdiction) offence that is entered into a particular format in a register at the police station. Every person has legal right to report any matter at the concerned police station and get a case registered in the form of an FIR when there is commission of a cognizable offence. The matter may be reported orally or in writing to a duty officer at a police station or on patrol. An officer who receives an oral report shall reduce it to writing and cause it to be recorded in the FIR register. A certified copy of the FIR, signed by an officer bearing the stamp of the police station is to be provided to the person who reports the crime.
No police officer has the authority to refuse registration of a case. In case a crime is reported and a case is not registered, the person who reports the crime must inform the Subdivisional Police Officer or the Superintendent of Police or the Regional Police Officer responsible for law and order in that particular area.
