All of these police stations will have special facilities for children. The police station will have beds, chairs, tables, toys for children, First Aid kits.
A small library will also be there with interesting books, magazines and newspapers. Special logos and plaques related to children’s rights and ‘do’s and don’ts’ for police personnel will also be set up.
