Participants of the meeting devised a new strategy that cameras on 3G and 4G networks should be installed on patrolling vehicles which would record crime scenes, movement of vehicles as well as corruption and behaviour of police officials with commuters. In the same way, positions of all vehicles may be checked through the internet from any PHP office.
In the meeting, DSP Operations Zulfiqar Ali, DSP C&V Rao Kamran Akhtar, Deputy Director Shahzada Khurram, Assistant Director Malik Zaman, PRO Muhammad Qazzafi and in-charge control room Abdul Munaf participated. It was also decided in the meeting that an internet facility would be given to PHP vehicles during snap checking for online data checking of stolen vehicles, proclaimed offenders and court absconders.
