This is one of the most unique schemes to check visa cheating cases which used to be rampant in Kochi City. Under this scheme an action group was formed by the police and the Manpower Exporters’ Association to check fake overseas recruitment and this includes the Protector of Emigrants (PoE). Since the formation of the action group, the number of
cheating cases registered in connection with fake overseas recruitment has come down 70 per cent. By including the PoE, the Police were able to effectively coordinate all aspects regarding overseas recruitment and check instances of cheating right at the beginning. The group has the Commissioner of Police as chairman. Earlier, the police acted only on receiving cases of cheating. Now, we can impart awareness among the public regarding overseas recruitment and also crosscheck genuineness of the claims made by recruiting agencies. The new action group meets every month and review the work. At the same time, the group members will be in constant touch. Whenever a case is reported, it is referred to the group for further action. This saves time in processing
cases, especially those involving foreign recruitment agencies. Whereas the official channel will take much time to crosscheck the credentials of these agencies, the group members can contact their counterparts in respective countries and verify facts in no time. The action group was reconstituted with a view to sorting out issues faced by manpower exporters. “The action group has effectively sorted out more than 200 cases and that is one main reason in the sharp decline in the number of cases.
The programme has been a major success in ensuring a good image on police among the public. The Positive image earned by the Police will be further strengthened and the objective of making the police force more community oriented and bringing the policing to the doorsteps of the public can be strengthened by such a campaign.
