To strengthen the system, several important reforms were undertaken, including continuous daily interaction with the ERSS team, prompt resolution of operational issues, shifting the District Command and Control (DCC) to ERSS Shimla, and ensuring regular monitoring of 112 complaints by officers from SHOs to Range DIGs. Police stations and districts where shortcomings were noticed were clearly identified so that necessary improvements could be implemented effectively.

The Director General of Police congratulated Team ERSS and every officer and personnel of Himachal Pradesh Police for their tireless efforts and dedication that made this achievement possible.

The DGP expressed confidence that the collective strength, discipline and commitment of the force will continue to take Himachal Pradesh Police to greater heights and instil pride among every citizen of the state.
