Students learn about law enforcement at Police Open House in Guntur

The Guntur District Police organised an ‘Open House’ exhibition at the Police Function Hall on Thursday to educate students about the functioning of the department and its role in maintaining public safety.

The event, organised as part of the Police Martyrs’ Week, was aimed at fostering awareness among students about the service-oriented nature of the police.

Participating in the programme, Guntur District Superintendent of Police Vakul Jindal said the main objective of the ‘Open House’ was to inform students about the services rendered by the police to the society.

He explained that such programmes help the younger generation understand the daily challenges faced by police personnel in maintaining law and order, and provide them with an opportunity to see the weapons, tools, and equipment used by the police.

The SP observed that such initiatives help build public confidence in the police and inspire students to view the police force as a pillar of social service and sacrifice. He noted that these interactions strengthen the bond between the police and the communities, while promoting discipline, courage, and civic responsibility among the youth.

Students attending the event had the chance to see various exhibits showcasing modern policing techniques and equipment, including body-worn cameras, CCTV surveillance units, riot control gear, and the Locked House Monitoring System used to prevent thefts when the residents are away.
