Mangalore, September 30: Infosys Ltd. organised and delivered a workshop on Leadership and Personal Effectiveness titled 'Going Beyond' for Mangalore city police officers at the Infosys Mudipu campus near here on September 27 and 28.
The workshop was attended by 20 senior officers from the Mangalore Commisionerate. The training programme was jointly designed and developed by Infosys and Commissioner of Police, Mangalore.
The workshop focused on driving improvements for the Mangalore Police, specifically in areas of internal operations, brand building, enhancing Police-Public Partnership and adoption of IT for enhancing operations. As part of the workshop, Infosys managers also shared their experiences and best practices on people management and process adherence, while highlighting the importance of teamwork and effective communication.
The one-and-a-half-day workshop was inaugurated by Seemanth Kumar Singh, Mangalore City Police Commissioner. In his inaugural speech, Mr. Singh noted that in line with the vision of Karnataka police, the Mangalore Police is working towards being known as a “People Friendly Department”.
“Despite the hard work put in by the police officers, very often public sees them in poor light. Trainings such as these will enable the police officers to better engage with the public and also become a role model in terms of driving partnership with the public”, Mr Singh said.
On the next steps from the workshop, Mr. Singh added, “While this is a good beginning, we still have a long way to go. We will analyze the success of the training and extend it to the next level.”

Mr. Singh and his team have been very supportive in designing and delivery of the workshop and we hope that they will realize significant benefits through such sessions.
