A Peoples’ Cop! Police Inspector at Kadri East Traffic Police Station GOPALKRISHNA BHAT Educates Motorists, especially Two-wheeler Riders and students on Traffic Rules and Safety Procedures while Driving, Riding and Walking on Streets
Mangaluru: There are Police Officers who come to work, do their regular hours of duty and when it’s time to go home, they are out of their office- and then there are few other Police Officers who apart from their regular hours of duty, go out of their way and do a little extra community service towards the citizens, motorists and commuters. And for that matter, the Police Inspector at Kadri Traffic East Police Station GOPALKRISHNA BHAT falls in the latter category, who apart from his regular hours of police duties, sacrifices a little of his extra time in doing good for the community.
With the increase in traffic-related accidents, resulting in deaths or severe injuries, especially those of two-wheeler riders, Traffic Police Inspector Gopalkrishna Bhat goes the extra mile in spending some of his precious time to make the road users aware of their responsibilities in respect of road rules; conduct road safety and traffic education campaigns for the benefit of motorists, pedestrians and school children; collects or formulate suggestions for improvement of traffic and forward the same to the higher authorities; organise traffic education campaigns and traffic training camps for school children, among others.

He also had a bunch of school children along with a couple of their teachers from a school near KPT visit the Kadri police station and narrated to them about the safety rules, while crossing the road, watching for moving vehicles on both sides, stopping talking on mobile phones while walking which may distract them, be attentive on roads among other safety precautions.
