But in my case, it is because of the inspiration of my seniors, I have achieved this medal. I did not apply for the medal instead our Police commissioner Chandra Sekhar recommended our service and today we have received the CM’s medal. If we work hard with dedication surely recognition follow. While working we need to perform our duties with integrity and transparency.

Policing is a good service, in our commissionerate, there are very good police officers but I cannot recommend all the officers for the medal at a time. In the coming days, they will surely be recognised. After Bengaluru city, Mangaluru has received the second highest number of medals. This is a statewide competition and all the units from the state compete for the CM’s gold medal. There is a good opinion about the Mangaluru police and so we have received 6 medals.”
