ISLAMABAD:

Islamabad Capital Territory police have introduced some new mechanisms embracing the latest technology to ensure effective monitoring at police stations and change the 'Thana Culture'.

According to a spokesman, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Islamabad Muhammad Ahsan Younus took steps for effective policing, following digital Pakistan policy of Prime Minister Imran Khan.

He said the new measures were taken to bring transparency in the department, besides changing the behaviour of the staff deputed at police stations. Police guides/constables were equipped with body-worn camera to record the interaction between the cops and the community through live digital control in Safe City.

To avoid delay in police services, the spokesman said Qmatic Machines were installed at entrance of police stations ensuring 'first come -first serve'. The citizens may get a Qmatic slip after selecting service and entering cell number, he added.
