It was decided in the meeting held here on Tuesday and presided over by the IGP Islamabad Muhammad Aamir Zulfiqar Khan. DIG (Operations) Waqar Uddin Syed, SSP (Security), AIG (Special Branch) and officials from other law enforcement agencies attended the meeting.
The meeting decided to take effective security measures in the city and to install high-tech and modern cameras at all pickets of the city which will be connected with safe city project.
The IGP Islamabad said that it is our top priority to ensure protection to the lives and property of the citizens.
He said that elaborate measures are being taken for effective security in the city in collaboration with other law enforcement agencies.
Islamabad police chief said that installation of such modern cameras would improve overall security and to be helpful in further improving performance and maintaining high vigilance in the city.
Meanwhile, The high-ups at the police department told The Nation that introduction of the cameras would help check complaints of road-users and passersby regarding misbehaviour on part of the policemen deployed at the checkpoints. The feed would be going live at Rescue-15 and the recording would also be available if need arises.
The best thing about police uniform cameras is that they would capture images of the law-enforcement personnel even in night with members of the public including suspects, witnesses and passersby. The recordings will help keep all parties honest and any interaction can later be verified.
Several complaints about policemen, especially serving at police pickets would be automatically resolved. The record of these cameras would be kept on daily basis with office of Zonal Superintendent of Police.
