During the meeting, in addition to the crime review, various security measures were discussed for controlling crime and ensuring peace and stability in the district. Various aspects of policing, including quality investigation of cases, crime disposal, verifications, disposal of NDPS, UAPA cases, inquest proceedings, history-sheeters, absconders, missing persons and other issues related to accountable policing, were also discussed.
Disposal of cases registered under old as well as new criminal laws of each police station or subdivision was deliberated in detail, including disposal within a time limit period of 60 and 90 days.

“SSP Jammu advised the police officers posted in the district in various capacities to provide good policing with assurance of safety and security to the general public and, adhering to all legal parameters, give a tough time to anti-national and antisocial elements,” the police spokesperson said.
He specifically mentioned that all drug peddlers should be identified and strict action needs to be taken against them.
“There is clearly a policy of zero tolerance against drugs, and whosoever is involved in drug trafficking should be strictly dealt with,” SSP Jammu asserted.
“He emphasised the participating officers to ensure quantitative and qualitative disposal of under-investigation cases of various nature as a priority and to take stringent action against those who are involved in various social crimes,” the spokesperson said.
SSP Jammu stressed the need for quality investigation and speedy disposal of under-investigation cases and reduction in the overall pendency to ensure speedy justice for the victims.
He also directed that there be zero tolerance for corruption, crime and indiscipline at any level.
“The efficiency of police can be gauged from the time it takes to respond to day-to-day situations. Along with quickness in response, polite behaviour and sympathy at heart are required while dealing with the problems of the general public,” SSP Jammu asserted.
