In a significant stride toward bolstering law enforcement capabilities, the Islamabad police are set to introduce smart cars equipped with artificial intelligence (AI). Under the oversight of Muhammad Shoaib, the SSP Operations Safe City Project, these smart cars are poised to revolutionize policing through advanced surveillance technology.
The key features of these smart cars include two types of cameras: Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and facial recognition. According to SSP Shoaib, the integration of the entire criminal record into the system enhances the effectiveness of these surveillance tools. The facial recognition cameras have the capability to identify suspects in real-time during snap checks or patrolling activities.
One notable application of this cutting-edge technology is the ability to generate alerts for vehicles with e-challan violations, enabling law enforcement to take immediate action. This integration not only enhances the efficiency of traffic management but also contributes to ensuring public safety.
Furthermore, the smart cars serve as a crucial tool for criminal identification. Victims of crimes can provide descriptions of suspects, and the car’s system can generate images matching those descriptions swiftly. This feature accelerates the identification process and facilitates prompt action by law enforcement.
In addressing incidents of car or motorcycle theft, the smart cars play a vital role in enabling swift responses. When the number of a stolen vehicle is entered into the system, all police units equipped with smart cars are promptly informed. This ensures coordinated efforts in tracking and recovering stolen vehicles, contributing to a more proactive approach in handling criminal activities.
Recognizing the importance of training, Islamabad police officials have undergone specific training programs to effectively utilize and maximize the potential of these smart cars. This initiative reflects a commitment to staying abreast of technological advancements in law enforcement and leveraging innovative solutions to enhance public safety.
In summary, the introduction of smart cars equipped with AI, ANPR, and facial recognition represents a significant leap forward in Islamabad’s policing capabilities. This integration of advanced technologies not only streamlines law enforcement processes but also empowers the police force to respond swiftly to incidents, ultimately contributing to a safer and more secure urban environment.
