The All Women Police Station will be manned by an all female staff consisting of officers and constables and will deal exclusively with cases of crime against women and children.

This will in turn help in bringing offenders to justice. Moreover, it will also expedite the process of investigation and disposal of cases thereby ensuring swift justice for the victims.
