Police personnel was mobilized for a variety of tasks—to monitor check posts, monitor COVID-19 infection hotspots, and ensure lockdown as well as containment. In addition to this, police personnel also carried out a variety of unconventional duties, including creating social awareness, clarifying fake news, daily inspection of people in isolation or quarantine, assisting the health department in contact tracing activities, helping migrant workers to enter shelters, and helping the needy persons to access medical and other essential services.
Therefore, the need of the
hour is to pay attention to the
psychological wellbeing of the
police personnel. NIMHANS released a brochure on mental health of police personnel during COVID-19 in English and Kannada.
