In a significant move to combat inter-state crime, police departments in Karnataka and Kerala have strengthened their joint mechanism to tackle border crime. A high-level meeting held in Mangaluru on Saturday brought together senior officers from both states to discuss key policing challenges, including cross-border crime, pending arrest warrants, and a rise in narcotics trafficking. A joint framework has been agreed upon to facilitate on-the-spot coordination, quicker information exchange, and immediate liaison between district police units. This collaboration aims to enhance data-sharing mechanisms and establish smoother communication between field-level units, with a focus on real-time updates during developing cases. The meeting emphasized the importance of coordination at the station and subdivision levels in tackling fast-evolving crime patterns in the region. Officials from both states have agreed to hold periodic review meetings, establish unified response mechanisms, and ensure continuous intelligence flow to strengthen law and order along the inter-state border. The collaborative approach is expected to lead to faster detection of offences, improved accountability, and stronger deterrence against criminal groups exploiting jurisdictional gaps. By working together, the police departments in Karnataka and Kerala are taking a significant step towards ensuring a safer border region.
