Police cars to use hi-tech gadgets
Hyderabad: The Telangana state police are planning to utilize state-of-the-art technology in the proposed hi-speed patrolling cars and also in sector wise police sub-control stations.
As part of these developments, the state police plans to install the 'Instant Incident Reporting System' with the help of advanced technology being made available on electronic tablets that would work even in adverse weather conditions.
Pictures of the scene of offence would be captured through these advanced tablets and uploaded to the Central Command Centre immediately after the incident. 'With the Instant Incident Reporting System, analyzing an offence and nabbing an accused will become easy.
This system will also help in capturing fingerprints at the scene of offence and this data will be matched with the police finger-print database on old offenders. This will help police to investigate cases in a better and easy manner,' said a senior police official.
Police officials were also planning to buy the 'FZ - A1' tablets manufactured by Panasonic Company, which are approved by the International Electronic Commission, for installation in patrolling vans.
These tablets would be provided with 3G internet connection, to upload data as soon as the police approach the spot. A new gadget would also be given to both Hyderabad city and Cyberabad traffic police personnel for identifying unruly motorists.
According to this plan, laser speed guns and interceptors would be provided to the traffic police personnel to capture images of over-speeding vehicles and also generate an instant challan.
Though a system in the twin police commissionerate levels is already available, senior officials identified some lapses in the challans that have been issued earlier, as they did not have the speed of the vehicle during the time of capture.
'The new speed guns will print the speed of the vehicle, time of violation and penalty on the image itself. We will send it to the motorist by post,' said the official.
The electronic gadgets would capture the photographs of the drunken drivers and immediately notify the police whether the motorist is a repeat offender. 'In the first phase, 24 patrolling vehicles will be bought and tested to identify grievances in using this technology. After fixing the problems, the remaining patrolling vehicles will be bought,' the officer said.
