Why did India set up a motorcycle policewoman squad?

165438+1October 23rd news, the police in Delhi, India recently set up a motorcycle policewoman patrol, which is specially responsible for cracking down on crimes against women, with the aim of preventing satyr from hiding in the dark alleys of the city.

According to the British report, this patrol named "Raftaar" will drive 600 motorcycles to the streets from June 5438+February. A group of specially trained policewomen will patrol the streets of Delhi in pairs with guns, camcorders, anti-wolf spray and electric batons. The police hope to reduce sexual crimes in India and ensure the safety of Indian women.

It is reported that the streets in some parts of Delhi are narrow and dark, which provides a favorable place for criminals to commit sexual assault. Patac, chief spokesman of Delhi police, said that once a female victim calls the police, the patrol car can't get to the scene through the narrow streets in the first time, and motorcycles are the best choice to cross the narrow lanes and prevent traffic congestion.

"Motorcycle patrols equipped with high-tech equipment have greatly improved the efficiency of the police. They can rush to the crime scene as quickly as possible to provide protection for female victims. These motorcycle patrols will be arranged in places where women have frequent sexual activities, such as near universities. " He said.

Ravi Kant, chairman of Shakti Vahini, a non-profit organization in India that opposes the illegal sale of children, opposes the deployment of motorcycle policewomen to patrol. He said, "Due to lax law enforcement, the crime rate in India is rising. Due to the poor investigation by the police, criminals can easily escape punishment after committing crimes, and almost no one is convicted in court. We need a comprehensive action plan, not this simple emergency measure. "
