Over 500 residents have applied to join Ghaziabad police’s “Citizen Volunteer Force”.
The Ghaziabad police had recently launched Citizen Volunteer force (CVF), a campaign to encourage residents to coordinate with the local police to ease traffic woes, improve police-public communication, and reduce crime.
According to the initial plan, the volunteers would work regulate peak-hour traffic in the vicinity of their residence at least once a week along with police. The volunteers will be provided with special ID cards, CVF cap and a high-visibility reflective CVF jackets, which would identify them as police volunteers. Overall coordination will be under the supervision of the local SHO and CVF coordinators. Ghaziabad News

City Spidey spoke to Saurabh Sharma, an advertising professional and a resident of Jaipuria Sunrise Greens, a residential society in Indirapuram, who volunteered for the CVF campaign. Sharma said it was the sensation of doing a person’s own bit for the common good which encouraged him to volunteer. “I can very well give some of my morning and evening hours for the good of the neighbourhood. It is not that big a price to pay,” Sharma added.
