1. Response time of Hoysala police patrol vehicles improves to 7.15 minutes in Bengaluru
Taking real-time experience to the next level, B. Dayananda, Police Commissioner of Bengaluru, has directed the inspector in-charge of Hoysala operations to conduct a trial run to bring the response time down to 7 minutes. Hoysalas not only act as mobile stations, but also first responders. The city has 241 Hoysalas with two to three vehicles in each police station limit.
Efforts to bring down the response time to below 15 minutes were started by former police commissioner Praveen Sood. Subsequently, the response time was brought down to 13 minutes, and then 11 minutes on an average. Mr. Dayananda has now brought the response time down to 7.15 minutes.
