PSCA launches advanced docking drone system in Lahore
LAHORE, Nov 03 (APP):The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) has launched an advanced Docking Drone System aimed at revolutionizing surveillance, crime monitoring, and emergency response across the province.
In a major step towards modernizing law enforcement operations, the system is designed to automatically deploy drones when a call is received on the Emergency Helpline 15. Within minutes of the alert, the drones will be airborne, capturing real-time images and videos of the incident site. These visuals will be transmitted directly to the Safe City Control Room for immediate assessment and to facilitate a swift, coordinated response.
The pilot phase of this innovative initiative has already kicked off at the Safe City Headquarters in Lahore. During this phase, drones will be deployed in response to a variety of incidents, including traffic-related issues, protests, emergencies, and other public complaints. The drones will provide aerial surveillance, while Virtual Patrolling Officers monitor the live feed, guiding on-ground police teams with real-time updates.
Initially, the system will be active in ten major police stations in Lahore. After successfully completing the pilot phase, the PSCA plans to gradually expand the use of docking drones across the entire province.
The spokesperson for PSCA stated that this initiative will significantly enhance emergency response times, crime prevention efforts, and the timely resolution of public grievances, all through the integration of cutting-edge technology.
This move marks a major advancement in leveraging modern tools for public safety, ensuring that law enforcement agencies can act swiftly and effectively in critical situations.
