- Prevention gangs requires a
combination of proactive measures, community engagement, and
targeted law enforcement efforts. Here are some preventive measures
that police can take:

Increased Patrolling: Deploy additional police patrols in areas prone to

chain snatching incidents, especially during peak hours and in known
hotspots. Visible police presence acts as a deterrent to potential
offenders.

Surveillance Cameras: Install and maintain surveillance cameras in

strategic locations, including busy streets and areas with a history of
chain snatching incidents. High-quality cameras can serve as both a
deterrent and a tool for identifying and apprehending suspects.
Community Awareness Programs: Conduct awareness programs in
collaboration with local communities to educate residents about the risk
of chain snatching. Provide tips on personal safety and encourage
residents to be vigilant, especially in crowded areas.

Publicize Emergency Helplines: Publicize emergency helplines where

victims or witnesses can quickly report chain-snatching incidents.
Encourage the community to use these helplines and assure them of a
swift police response.

Motorcycle Checks: Conduct random checks of motorcycles, particularly

those with pillion riders, to ensure that riders are not involved in criminal
activities. This can be done at checkpoints or during routine patrolling.

Use of Technology: Employ technology to track stolen items. Encourage

victims to register their valuable possessions, such as jewellry, on a
database that can be used to trace stolen items if recovered.
Undercover Operations: Carry out undercover operations to identify and
apprehend members of motorbike gangs involved in chain snatching.
Plainclothes officers can observe and intervene when suspicious activities are
detected.

Coordination with Traffic Police: Collaborate with traffic police to monitor and
regulate the movement of motorcycles, especially during specific time frames
and in areas with a high incidence of chain snatching.

Community Policing: Foster strong relationships between the police force and
the local community. Encourage community members to share information
about suspicious activities and individuals, fostering a sense of shared
responsibility for public safety.
Quick Response Teams: Establish quick response teams equipped to respond
rapidly to reported chain snatching incidents. Well-trained teams can increase
the chances of apprehending suspects and recovering stolen items.

Sting Operations: Conduct sting operations to catch offenders in the act. These
operations can help gather evidence against criminal elements and deter
others from engaging in similar activities.

Targeted Enforcement Actions: Analiyze crime data to identify trends and

patterns related to chain snatching. Use this information to focus enforcement
efforts on specific areas and times when incidents are more likely to occur.
Partnership with Community Leaders: Collaborate with community
leaders, local businesses, and religious institutions to create a united
front against chain snatching. Their involvement can enhance
community watch efforts and strengthen preventive measures.

Reward Systems: Establish a reward system for individuals who provide

information leading to the arrest and conviction of chain-snatching
offenders. This incentivizes community members to actively participate
in crime prevention efforts.

By combining these measures, law enforcement

agencies can create a comprehensive strategy to prevent chain
snatching by motorbike gangs, enhance public safety, and build trust
within the community.

 Eve Teasing – Proactive Policing / She Teams
Preventing eve-teasing requires a combination of proactive
policing, community engagement, and specialized teams. Here are
measures that can be implemented for the prevention of eve-teasing,
with a focus on proactive policing and the establishment of specialized
units like She Teams:
• She Teams: Establish dedicated teams, commonly known as "She
Teams," comprising both male and female officers, specifically trained
to address issues related to eve-teasing and harassment. These teams
can focus on prevention, response, and community outreach.
• Undercover Operations: Conduct undercover operations to identify
and apprehend individuals engaged in eve-teasing. Plainclothes
officers can monitor public spaces and intervene when they observe
harassment, ensuring a swift response.
• Community Policing: Strengthen community policing efforts by
engaging with local communities to raise awareness about the issue
of eve-teasing. Encourage residents to report incidents and provide
information on potential troublemakers.
• Community Outreach Programs: Organize awareness programs in
schools, colleges, and public spaces to educate students and the
general public about the consequences of eve-teasing. Promote a
culture of respect and gender sensitivity.
• Surveillance Cameras: Install surveillance cameras in public places,
especially in areas with a history of eve-teasing incidents. High-quality
cameras can act as a deterrent and provide valuable evidence for
investigations.
• Patrolling in Vulnerable Areas: Increase police patrolling in areas
identified as vulnerable to eve-teasing, particularly during peak hours
when such incidents are more likely to occur. Visible police presence
can discourage potential offenders.
• Helpline for Immediate Assistance: Publicize and promote a dedicated
helpline that individuals can call for immediate assistance in case of
eve-teasing. Ensure a quick and effective response from law
enforcement when such calls are received.
• Legal Literacy Programs: Conduct legal literacy programs to educate
the public, especially women, about their rights and the legal
consequences of eve-teasing. Empowering individuals with knowledge
can contribute to a safer environment.
Self-Defence Workshops: Offer self-defence workshops for women to
enhance their confidence and ability to protect themselves in case of an
eve-teasing incident. Collaborate with martial arts instructors and
community organizations for these programs.
Coordination with Educational Institutions: Collaborate with schools
and colleges to implement anti-eve-teasing policies and programs.
Establish a liaison officer within educational institutions to address and
report such incidents promptly.
Social Media Monitoring: Monitor social media platforms for any
instances of online harassment or stalking. Collaborate with cybercrime
units to address online eve-teasing and take appropriate legal action.
Rapid Response Units: Create rapid response units capable of quickly
reaching reported eve-teasing incidents. These units can ensure timely
intervention and the apprehension of offenders.
Gender Sensitization Training: Provide ongoing gender sensitization
training to police officers to enhance their understanding of issues
related to harassment and improve their response to victims.
Victim Support Services: Establish support services for victims,
including counselling and legal assistance. Creating a safe space for
victims to report incidents without fear of retaliation is crucial.
Public Awareness Campaigns: Conduct public awareness campaigns
through various mediums, including posters, pamphlets, and social
media, to inform the public about the consequences of eve-teasing and
the importance of reporting such incidents.
