Superintendent of Police, Indian Police Service
Superintendent Kamanasish Sen currently serves as the superintendent of police for the East Burdwan district of West Bengal. A dynamic and forward-thinking leader, he strives to improve the lives of community members and advance the profession of policing. Superintendent Sen has successfully managed mob violence, communal conflicts, industrial disputes, natural and man-made disasters, human trafficking, and other crimes and emergencies.
During the recent West Bengal Assembly Elections in 2021, Superintendent Sen led the charge to ensure that the electoral process was fair and transparent. He designed and implemented a Drone Monitoring System that allowed the police to maintain a sharp vigil over the areas that had seen several incidents during the pre-poll phase of the assembly elections. The Drone Monitoring System was so successful that it has been included in the National Police Mission of Bureau of Police Research and Development in India.
Superintendent Sen is also actively involved in community policing. He helped to start Adivasi Football Training School to train tribal girls in football (soccer). Superintendent Sen also assisted with free coaching for engineering and medical entrance examinations for 220 low-income students in the district of East Burdwan. For his work on these and other initiatives, Superintendent Sen was awarded the Corporate Social Responsibility Award by the Aditya Birla Group, Chief Minister’s Commendation Medal and the National Award for Best Electoral Practices.
