Islamabad - Islamabad police are striving hard to boost efficiency by adopting modern technologies and introducing new trends in the department so that the complainants feel that they are being heard and entertained at the level of police station.
According to the sources, the police will soon be adopting a new software application so as to help track down an application once it is filed and the applicant doesn’t need to come to the police station. “He will be kept informed about all the legal action taken on his application through SMS service from a central desk. Similarly, the officers concerned would be in a position to monitor the progress in some particular case through a screen soon-to-be-installed in their offices,” a senior police officer told The Nation. He said this will not only save time of the applicant and police but also hold the officers accountable when it comes to action and progress on some complaint. Under the plan, information sharing within the department would be easier and time-saving while personal information would be more secure, the officer added. He said the plan is the brainchild of SSP operations Islamabad.
Similarly, he said, the screens will also display record of calls at Rescue-15 made by general public which would help reduce response time. Senior officers would be able to check response time in each and every call made for help at 15 as the screens will be displaying the data for the whole calls. The steps are part of the automation plan of Islamabad police, he added. He further told The Nation the police have a plan to eliminate paper work via automation gradually which he believed would not only save time but also help monitor the performance of the individuals and track official documents.
