Commissioner of Police Shankar Jiwal on Saturday inaugurated a Centre for Police Well-Being for rendering special counselling and to treat police personnel with suicidal tendencies and alcohol addiction. This was first of its kind programme to cover at least 1,000 police personnel in the next three months.

After inauguration of the new centre at Guru Nanak College in Velachery, Mr. Jiwal said that already the police well-being training programme was under way. “The well-being 2.0 programme is a targeted programme for the most vulnerable group of police personnel, from a mental health point of view.
