The public has been informed to inform the Acting IGP if they do not receive a summons within two weeks for complaints filed at Police Stations.
According to the Sri Lanka Police, the public who has not received a summons in the specified period has been advised to file a complaint to the Acting IGP via www.telligp.police.lk.
Acting IGP Priyantha Weerasuriya has instructed that various complaints reported to the police stations that have not been investigated yet, be investigated and completed within 2 weeks.
All senior officials, including provincial Senior DIGs, have been instructed to prepare and implement a special program in this regard.
A statement issued by the Acting IGP says information has been revealed that a large number of complaints reported to the police stations have not been investigated and the investigations have not been completed.
He points out that as a result, various complaints reported as minor incidents may become a more serious crime, damaging the public’s confidence in the police.
Therefore, the Acting IGP has instructed that going forward, police stations should take measures to start investigating, on the same day, the various complaints reported to the police stations and to complete the probes within 48 hours.
The Acting IGP has also instructed relevant officers to monitor the system and to inform of Police OICs who are found to be acting contrary to the directives. (Newswire)
