Mangalore: City Police all Set to Launch Mobile Control Rooms

Mangalore, Jan 19 (DHNS): The City Police is all set to introduce Police Control Room (PCR) vehicles to respond to the complaints immediately. City Police Commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh said that a total of 10 Tavera vehicles have already been purchased and it will be placed at selected locations soon.

Speaking with the media persons at an interaction programme organised by the Dakshina Kannada District Working Journalists Association (DKDWJA) at the Pathrika Bhavan here on Tuesday, Singh said that all the 14 law and order police stations in the City will have one PCR vehicle each. “Vehicles will be equipped with medical facilities, arms, Global Positioning System (GPS) and other technologies. Each vehicle will have atleast 3-4 trained cops. The control room will alert the nearest PCR vehicle when a call was received so that police can respond to complaints immediately,” Singh explained. In addition, he said, 30 motor bikes have been bought for the cops to monitor the national highways and cities.



Singh said that the police beat system will be made web-based, where all details regarding the cops on duty including their contact numbers will be uploaded to the website.

People can log on to the website to find out the details of the cops on beat in their respective areas, Singh said adding that police assistance booths will be set up at identified spots, which are sensitive and crowded.

Advanced technology

An interrogation room with all advanced technology will be set up at the Mangalore North (Bunder) police station, Singh said adding that “the interrogation room will have facilities to record all the process so that there will be no scope for human rights violation.”

Singh said that the Police Youth Clubs, which were started by the Superintendent of Police Dr A S Rao are functioning effectively in all the police station jurisdictions. More cultural and sports activities will be taken up through the clubs in the days to come, he added.

Surveillance cameras

An advanced traffic control system will be introduced in the City in two phases. The office of the Director General of Police will release Rs 70 lakh and the City Commissionerate will spend another Rs 70 lakh to initiate the new system which is aimed at making the traffic movement smooth, Singh said.

“A total of 30 PTZ cameras, which have 360 degree scanning capacity, will be placed at different locations in the City. The cameras will also be helpful in maintaining law and order in the City. Such cameras can be installed inside shopping malls and other commercial establishments if the proprietors are willing to bear the cost of it. However, the footage will be stored directly to the server of the police,” he explained.

Singh said that the number of non-fatal accidents have come down drastically in 2010 compared to previous years.

In 2008, the number of non-fatal accidents was 1,064, in 2009, it was 1,037 and in 2010, the number has come down to 929, he explained. However, he said, the number of fatal accidents, which was only 129 in 2008, has increased to 167 in 2010.

Deputy Commissioners of Police K Ramesh, M Muthuraya, DKDWJA President Harsha and General Secretary Guruvappa Balepuni were present.

    The commissioner of police arranged PCR vehicle is appriciated and it is helpful to SHOs and their tension become less. But the public dont know the work and the fecilitiies in the PCR. Once a leader of political party in mulky asked about PCR and I described about the PCR activities and fecilities. He astonished and told that the people think that a white coloured police vehicle with 2 police men rounding the limits and questioned why cant you call a meeting of public representatives and inform about the PCR. At present the 25% o instructions of the commissoners is used by the PCR staff and 50% crimes become less.If PCR staff works 75% most ofthe crimes will be stop. In some place the drivers of the PCR not follow the instructions ofthe incharge. They intrested in checking the two wheelers, and other vehicles etc. the drivers should be trained in this regard. If there is no sufficient staff inthe PCR the service ofthe retired police forthe time being by paying a small remunartion as in the other department. If the work of PCR absorbed cent percent there is no need of police beats and man power will be saved. And I suggest that the British police system may be stopped and modified police administration may be added as the commissioner PCR scheme.

    It is good to see that Mangalore is getting geared to establish modern methods to ensure that LAW AND ORDER is maintained at all costs and WORK TOWARDS reduction of crime if not elimination.

    Mr. Seemanth Singh is not new to Mangalore and with his past stint here as a S. P. he has considerable know-how of The City and Suburbs. With his ability and fund of KNOWLEDGE - and with staunch support from Deputy Commissioners like K. Ramesh and M. Muthuraya, Mangalore City is all set to meet the challenges of the times. As far as traffic is concerned there is already a in fatal accidents. Here again Mr. Shetty - the C.I. is doing a formidable ask

    GPS which is widely used in advanced countries will be of considerable help to the officers to speedily get to the scene of crime. I am very conversant with G.P.S. as I use to it to navigate while driving in U.S.A. Of course Mobile Control rooms will be able to send staff speedily to the areas of trouble

    I must compliment Mr. Seemanth Singh on the the introduction of ADVANCE INTERROGATION CONCEPT in the place of inhuman AIRPLANE system which is a great step towards advancement and towards protection and upholding of HUMAN RIGTHS

    In all it is good to see AN ERA OF CONSIDERABLE IMPROVEMENT under the present management by LAW ENFORCEMENT DEPARTMENT.

    Kudos to YOU Mr. SEEMANTH SINGH, YOUR TWO DEPUTY COMMISSIONERS and all connected with you FOR THE TASKS UNDERTAKEN.

    I would first like Mr.SINGH, our honarable Commissioner to train the police in such a way to become public friendly and use deceplined LANGUAGE and not to welcome the public by calling"BOOLI MAGANE"and "SUULE MAGANE". Do recruit EDUCATED YOUTH who can handle all the above mentioned gadgets for the extreme use of the new technologies.And to take step's to punish the cops even, if found guilty anyway the newly installed camera's will help in catching the cops when bribed.

    Very good news but with all this the police force should work sincerely by punishing the ones who violate the rules and by not punishing citizens for no reason, i have felt very pity when i herd few incidents where the cops in mangalore humiliate innocent students by hitting them as if they are convicts. it is very important as it affects the students brain so much that they turn out to become criminals in the future, we do not want to breed criminals in the police station instead help getting rid of them. so please appoint able police men for our city with good IQ and not illiterate who don't understand the difference between the good and the bad in a system. we want cops to think wisely and not to behave like GOD all mighty.
