Traffic Police Chief " Crane Bedi "

Strong Vigilance, Co-ordination and Innovations were the hallmarks of her traffic tenure. The citizens of Delhi still remember her for this posting Professional - Traffic Police Chief - " Crane Bedi " Traffic police postings came to Kiran in early years of her service. The challenge was huge; not only to attend the day to day traffic arrangements of the cities, but also organize the traffic planning of the ninth Asian Games in Delhi in 1982 and Common Wealth Heads of Government Meet in Goa

In both the cities she and her team of officer's and men rose to the occasion and made her traffic units earn excellence. During the Asiad at Delhi, the team trained 1700 Home Guards and 1500 University students and at Goa, policemen from Gujarat, Maharashtra and Karnataka were trained as they needed special training for handling the VVIP traffic.

900 NCC cadets were specially trained

at Goa for the CHOGM. Common people were trained on Sundays by Inspector Sarab Pal Singh, specially called from the Delhi Police for the purpose to Goa. Kiran found participative ways to deliver the services. The participation doubled her strength of deployment. She was unsparing in enforcing discipline on the roads. Due to presence of large number of cranes to remove wrongly parked vehicles - including that of the former Prime Minister, she was nicknamed 'Crane Bedi'.

the society, whether senior citizens, students or children to understand and contribute to road safety. She rewarded honesty and co-operation to motivate others. She involved the Corporate sector in an extensive way to reach out services, both in Delhi and Goa, through innovative Traffic Assistance Booths, films, literature etc. Communication.

Kiran is known to be and the highest ranking and the only woman to have headed a pre-dominantly male prison of the dimension of Tihar (over 9700 prisoners then). The Prison Administration took path-breaking steps during her tenure as the Inspector General of Prisons. She converted the high security prison into a "Reformatory", a transformation of a magnitude unparalleled in the history of Prison Administration anywhere in the world. Her courageous and holistic approach towards prison governance became a major factor in her earning the prestigious Ramon Magsaysay Award for Government Service in the year 1994. The process of transformation of Tihar is documented in Kiran's book "It's Always Possible" which is accompanied by a CD ROM. Evidence shows that Kiran had introduced a "Godly approach to jail inmates" with the introduction of yoga, meditation and discourses by various sections of religious groups to inculcate spirituality and human values amongst the undertrials and convicts, men and women.
