LAHORE:
Software solutions developed by Lahore police are generating good results, Capital City Police Officer (CCPO) Zulfiqar Hameed has said. “As many as 30 wanted outlaws have been arrested in a month with the help of Travel Eye software.”
He expressed these views while chairing a meeting to review progress on Hotel Eye and Travel Eye software. SSP Investigation Zeeshan Asghar, SSP Admin Malik Liaqat Ali, SP Security Bilal Zafar and representatives of Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) were also present in the meeting.
The manual system is no more effective in the present era of modern technology and the use of computerised systems was the need of the hour, remarked the CCPO. He said the entire mechanism should be activated as soon as Travel Eye generates a notification. Respective divisional SPs and SHOs should also be aware of the alert immediately, directed the CCPO.
He instructed PITB experts to make integrated reporting mechanisms more efficient. He expressed his commitment that the Travel Eye and Hotel Eye will be gradually integrated to keep an eye on wanted and suspected criminals. After including bus terminals in Eye-Net, the system will be extended to cargo monitoring, which will also include railway cargo, vowed the CCPO.
