It is essential for the security officer and other senior staff of the security organization to have a fair knowledge about the crime handling procedure by the civil police. It is the basic duty of the police of the particular state to investigate and deal with the industrial crimes, maintenance of law and order investigation of crimes. Therefore a security officer must be in complete know how about the police procedure, which will assist him to a greater extent while dealing with industrial crimes in an industry office.
It must be borne in mind that all the offences defined and covered under Indian penal code are not necessarily to be investigated and dealt by the police. In order to streamline the power and the purpose of information and action section 2 (c) of CrPC (Criminal Procedure Code) defines the offences as under A cognizable offence is a case where the police can arrest without a warrant. All cognizable cases involve criminal offences. Murder, Robbery, Theft, Rioting, Counterfeiting etc. are some examples of cognizable offences. Non-cognizable offences are those criminal infractions, which are relatively less serious. Examples of non-cognizable offences include public nuisance, causing simple hurt, assault and mischief. The Police cannot register criminal cases or cause arrests with regard to non-cognizable offences. In all such cases, the Police have to take permission from a magistrate for registration of a criminal case.
