The city police officials took the tech-savvy path to tackle challenges and to ensure a smooth polling day on November 30.
Explaining the methods, Police Commissioner of Cyberabad Stephen Raveendra said that for the first time, they had developed Geographic Information Systems (GIS) technology for better route response time. “All constituencies and all routes were digitised with critical polling stations and all of them were geotagged. The Quick Response Teams (QRT) have their live location shared with us. With the CC cameras across our commissionerate being monitored on live feed, we were able to route them easily for a faster response,” said the official. Every issue/incident was addressed within five minutes.
