5. If the enquiry succeeds in tracing the person, he shall forthwith be produced<br />

before the executive or judicial magistrate having jurisdiction, as the case may be.<br />

66. <strong>Police</strong> may keep Register of Missing Properties:<br />

1. Whenever any Station House Officer receives any information from any person<br />

that any valuable property or security belonging to that person is lost, such officer<br />

may, if satisfied that the value and the nature of the missing article justifies such a<br />

course of action, register the information in a register maintained for the purpose and<br />

may cause such enquiries to be made as may be reasonably necessary to locate the<br />

article.<br />

2. Government may prescribe the charges to be levied for such enquiries.<br />

3. Nothing in this section will be deemed to compel any police officer to make any<br />

enquiries in this regard when he reasonably feels either that the missing article is<br />

trifling in value or that there is no reasonable chance of it being identified and located<br />

or that making any enquiry is either too expensive or time consuming.<br />

67. <strong>Police</strong> may give Certificates of Non-involvement in Crimes: Whenever<br />

any District <strong>Police</strong> Chief receives any request from any person that he may be issued<br />

with a certificate to the effect that he is not involved in any crime in his jurisdiction,<br />

the District <strong>Police</strong> Chief may make such enquiries as he deems fit, and then give such<br />

a certificate after realising such charges as may be fixed by the Government in this<br />

regard.<br />

68. <strong>Police</strong> may give Security Advice: Whenever any District <strong>Police</strong> Chief<br />

receives any information that there is any place within his jurisdiction where<br />

extraordinarily large sums of cash or very valuable moveable properties are kept or<br />

that any place of public importance is facing a grave security threat, then he may, on<br />

his own, in consultation with the person or persons in charge of the place concerned,<br />

get a security audit conducted by persons selected by the District <strong>Police</strong> Chief and on<br />

the basis of such security audit, the persons in charge of the premises may be advised<br />

to take certain steps or take certain precautions to safeguard life and property situated<br />

in the premises.
