KN Police: Banglore: Bangalore traffic police become fast and furious..

The traffic police will have zero tolerance towards stunt riders and drag racers. And you’ve had it if you’re a repeat offender. In three days, the traffic police have already recommended cancellation of licences of 15 bikers guilty of traffic violations. The police have decided to aggressively implement the Motorcycle Rule and Act to bring down the number of traffic violations. The main intention behind is to avoid dangerous and negligence riding. In 2010, 33.33 lakh cases of traffic violations were registered. In 2011, it has crossed 18 lakh.

Initially, in some police stations, there were at least 15 repeat offenders and there are many such cases in the city, hence licences of such riders will be cancelled, said MA Saleem, additional commissioner of police (traffic). “The recommendations have been sent to the RTO to cancel licences. The traffic police will seize licences and send it to the RTO or magistrate. It is up to them to cancel the licence permanently,” said Saleem. “We’re also planning to improve technology to find such offenders. The number of CCTV cameras and a server upgradation are some steps to identify offenders. For riders who violate traffic rules more than three times, their licences will be suspended with immediate effect,” he said. Prior traffic violations will also be taken into account even if the fine has been paid. BlackBerry handsets used by the traffic police can access the records of any vehicle. Hence, it will be easy for the police to identify violators.

Orissa Police: Bhubaneshwar: भुवनेश्वर पुलिस को तोहफा, डीसीपी ऑफिस में खुला हाईटेक कंट्रोल रुम..

BHUBANESWAR: The much-hyped hi-tech police control room that is expected to promptly help respond to emergency situations in the city came up on Wednesday, with chief minister Naveen Patnaik inaugurating the multi-channel telephonic control room, located inside the DCP's office here. "The key point of this `1.78 crore-control room is that it can facilitate fast dissemination of information among police personnel to improve their real time response to emergency situations," twin city police commissioner B K Sharma said. The control room is studded with three vital components: A computer-aided dispatch (CAD), automatic vehicle locator system (AVLS) and a geographic information system (GIS). The systems have been installed by US-based Inter-Act Public Safety Solutions, a leading provider of public safety software.

"While the CAD will guide the police in quickly responding to emergencies, the GIS will automatically trace the callers' location. The AVLS will track the movement of PCR vans so that the control room can identify and send the cops closest to the spot of crime," Sharma said. "The system will cut down on time and improve our response system," the police commissioner added. Nearly 69 police vehicles, comprising as many as 26 patrol vans have been linked with the GPS-enabled control room. There are 13 operators to receive distress calls from the public round-the-clock. As many as 30 calls can be received simultaneously on one telephone number (100). The control room received not less than four hundred calls till evening. "Most of the calls were false and did not warrant police intervention. However, we received around forty calls, relating to traffic problems in different locations," a police functionary at the control room said. The facility has of late been confined to Bhubaneswar alone. "We will soon expand the system to Cuttack," Sharma said. "Such systems have earlier been installed in Assam, Mumbai, Gujarat and Calcutta. Most of the gadgets were purchased from Singapore and Israel," said Paul A Tatro, president of Interact Public Safety Solutions, with whom the state government had signed a pact in April 2010. "Police have been trained to be conversant with the new system. Our company employees would regularly monitor the systems to avoid any technical glitches. Through biometric access control, we can prevent unauthorized access of the systems," Paul said. The control room has a well-equipped disaster centre to deal with crisis hours in the city, he informed. Naveen asked the police commissioner and other senior police officials to regularly monitor functioning of the control room for effective implementation of the system.

Mumbai Police: 100 नंबर पर लगेगा अब आसानी से कॉल, मुंबई पुलिस कंट्रोल रुम में अब हो जाएगी 150 टेलिफोन लाइंन्स..

MUMBAI: The police will soon be able to answer five times more calls simultaneously when people dial the emergency '100' number. Currently, the control room at the Crawford Market police headquarters can answer 30 calls at a time. The figure will soon shoot up to 150. The call-drop rate will also fall and voice quality will be clearer, as the police will shift from an analog to a digital system. "Metros like Delhi, which has a lesser population than Mumbai, have digital police control rooms. The Maharashtra government is moving to make the upgrade," the home official said. Further admitting that the Mumbai police control room needs an upgrade, the official said, "At present the call drop rate is nearly 30%. We expect that to improve."

According to another senior home official, who recently visited the Delhi police control room, "The Mumbai control room has just one primary rate interface (PRI) line, while Delhi has five. The state home department has planned to introduce four new lines," the official added. On each line, 30 calls can be answered. A PRI line enables traditional phone lines to carry voice data and video traffic. 100 To Accommodate 150 Currently, the police control room has one Primary Rate Interface (PRI) system, on which the public can call 100 in an emergency The single system allows 30 operators to answer calls on 30 separate phones simultaneously From the 31st call onwards, the callers are put on hold The police plan to acquire another 4 PRI lines, so they would have 5 in all With each line allowing operators to answer 30 calls, there would be 150 calls answered simultaneously From the 151st call onwards, the callers would be put on hold

Delhi Police: 100 नंबर का करिश्मा, दिल्ली पुलिस को मिलता है हर 25वें सेकेंड में एक कॉल..

That was nothing compared to the job the Delhi police had, getting a call every 25 seconds (over 19 lakh calls in 2010).

Despite boasting of over 85,000 personnel on its rolls, Delhi Police don't seem to have been able to mitigate the miseries of residents facing emergencies. If the NCRB figures are an indication, the problem only seems to have worsened last year, with the national capital registering an increase of nearly 60,000 calls.

TN Police: Chennai: NCRB की मानें तो हर 80वें मिनट में चेन्नई पुलिस के पास आता है मदद मांगने के लिए एक कॉल

Chennai: The Tamil Nadu police received a distress call once every 80 minutes last year. That puts the state at the ninth place nationwide, according to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) statistics, but the calls in 2010 doubled compared to the previous year. In 2009, Tamil Nadu received 3,080 distress calls while in 2010 it registered 6,351 such calls. That was nothing compared to the job the Delhi police had, getting a call every 25 seconds (over 19 lakh calls in 2010). Despite boasting of over 85,000 personnel on its rolls, Delhi Police don't seem to have been able to mitigate the miseries of residents facing emergencies. If the NCRB figures are an indication, the problem only seems to have worsened last year, with the national capital registering an increase of nearly 60,000 calls.

With a 13,000-strong staff, the Chennai police seem to be doing better. They got around 1,200 distress calls in 2010. But officials say prank calls accounted for some 20% of them. Callers to '100' get a recorded message in Chennai warning them against playing pranks on the police distress line. This should be enough to deter most pranksters and make them hang up, but some seem to be determined to make mischief. Greater Chennai police commissioner J K Tripathy said they were cracking down on these non-serious callers. "In July alone, the police arrested six persons, including three juveniles, for making prank calls to the police control room," Tripathy told TOI. Recently, the state government sanctioned a new deputy commissioner of police (DCP) to man the city police control room that receives these calls. Ke Ve Kabilan, who was appointed to the post on Sunday, will also monitor the patrol vehicles that respond to these calls. Tamil Nadu ranks among the states in which the distress calls increased though others, such as West Bengal showed a decline. Mumbai, which has some 45,000 police personnel, logged over 13,000 calls in 2010 - an increase of over 40%.

UP Police: NOIDA: नोयडा में पुलिस वालों को मिलेगा थोड़ा आराम, 600 नए साथी करने वाले है ज्वाइन..

NOIDA: Cops in the city are all set to get an image makeover. By December, there will be a lesser number of potbellied, ill-dressed policemen on the streets as 600 young and smart recruits are currently undergoing training to join the force. Gautam Budh Nagar SSP Jyoti Narayan said that the freshly recruited personnel will join the city in the first week of December. The fresh faces are expected to strengthen policing in the area. "Initially, some of the new recruits will be deployed in the field while a few would be stationed at police stations, in the traffic police and police lines. The training of the recruited personnel is at its final stage."

The personnel are being given training in crime investigation, forensic analysis, cyber crime and economic offences, besides in law and other subjects, said a senior police officer. For the first time, the police officer said, women constables are being given specialized training in unarmed combat, motorcycle riding and rescue operations. Asked about training in the use of firearms, a senior official said that the constables have been taught about using .303 rifles, .38 revolvers, 9mm pistols, AK-47, SAF and SLR. Modern techniques for their training, like use of Fire Arms Training Simulators, were exhaustively used during their firing practice. For a long time, the Gautam Budh Nagar police force has been reeling under dearth of personnel. Absences of police personnel at the various key points in the city, especially sectors 71, 59, 62 and a major part of Greater Noida has resulted in an increase of criminal activities. Keeping law and order in mind, for a longtime the district cops had been demanding additional personnel. In this connection, four SSPs had sent proposals to the state government since 2008. So far, the district has around 1,000 constables, 150 sub-inspectors, 17 SHOs, seven DSPs, four ASPs, four SPs and one SSP against a population of seven lakh, including three lakh floating population.

WB Police: Kplkata: पार्टी कार्यकर्ताओं को छुड़ाने थाने पहुंची ममता दी..

KOLKATA: West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee in an unusual intervention stormed a local police station late Sunday night and ensured the release of two of her party members who were allegedly arrested for rioting an hour earlier, Times Now reported. Mamata's party members were involved in a brawl between two local clubs- Sevak Sangha and Players Corner and the police. Eyewitnesses claimed that the members of Sevak Sangha were headed to Babughat for Jagadhhatri idol immersion and they burst banned (high decibel) firecrackers right in front of the Chittaranjan Cancer Research Institute. Apart from fire crackers, a DJ was playing music at high volume. Police asked them to stop music and then insisted that they move fast as the procession was causing huge traffic snarl. People in the procession refused to follow the police orders while flaunting their political connections.

Meanwhile, another group of youth (Players Corner) gathered at the spot. While Sevak Sangha group attacked the police at Bhowanipore police station, the Players Corner asked the cops to act against them. Both clubs claimed that among their patrons were the two brothers of the chief minister. And if eyewitnesses are to be believed, the vandals were dropping the names of "high-profile contacts" while attacking policemen, ransacking vehicles and staging a roadblock. The attack left at least a dozen cops injured, police refused to take action against the attackers. Not a single arrest was made in the incident that prompted chief minister Mamata Banerjee to rush to the spot to pacify the crowd. Worse still, four persons including two members of Mamata's party detained were released after a few hours. The procession was managed by Jagannath Sau, a close associate of Baban Banerjee, one of Mamata's brothers. Sau was present at the spot as was Baban Banerjee. The attacks were perpetrated by a local strongman, Kumar Saha and his henchmen. Kumar is very close to Jagannath Sau. When contacted, Kumar denied this allegation. "Neither me nor any of my supporters was there... Go through the television footage and check who was present in the front row of the mob," said Kumar.
