Psychiatric treatment for cops who can’t keep cool

Ill-tempered policemen will be subjected to counselling and psychiatric treatment, Goa Director General of Police (DGP) Muktesh Chander said yesterday. The top cop also said that criminal proceedings would be initiated against police personnel who lose their cool and misbehave while dealing with public. “Any misconduct or misbehaviour with the public will not go unpunished.” Chander told a meeting of senior police officials in Panaji. “If in spite of this, if someone cannot control his cool, he needs counselling, psychiatric treatment,” Chander also said.
