PSCA launches QR Panic Button system to enhance foreign nationals security
LAHORE, Jul 14 (APP): The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA), in collaboration with the Special Protection Unit (SPU), has launched an advanced QR panic button system to enhance the safety and security of foreign nationals residing and working across Punjab.
According to PSCA spokesperson on Tuesday, QR Panic Buttons would be installed at the residences and workplaces of foreign nationals across the province. By scanning the QR code, users would gain instant access to Emergency Helpline 15, live chat, video calling and location-sharing services.
In case of an emergency, the user’s live location and other relevant information would be transmitted instantly to the PSCA’s Command and Control Centre, enabling law enforcement agencies to ensure a prompt and coordinated response.
The spokesperson said the QR Panic Button System had been fully integrated with the Punjab Safe Cities Authority’s Command and Control System, allowing the police and the Special Protection Unit to assess situations instantly and respond without delay.
The system would establish a direct communication link between foreign nationals, the PSCA and the SPU, significantly improving emergency response and operational coordination, the spokesperson added.
The spokesperson said the PSCA was continuing to strengthen public safety through advanced digital security solutions, smart policing and Artificial Intelligence (AI)-based technologies.
The newly launched QR system, he said, was another important component of the authority’s integrated digital security framework aimed at providing a safer environment for foreign nationals while enhancing the operational efficiency of law enforcement agencies.
