Google Earth to add new dimension to city police site
The website of city police (nagpurpolice.org) will get a new dimension after it gets linked to Google Earth on Friday to help citizens
locate the right police station. They would not have to now ask any stranger or remain in dark about the location, phone number or even e-mail of nearest police station. They only need to log onto the website. Linking to Google Earth would enable citizens to know exactly how to reach the local police station in the shortest possible time in the time of crisis or emergency.
Even when stranded or locked-up in a room, the victims can SMS or email his plight to the local police station in-charge directly after noting his mobile number from the website. The website, which is being re-launched in a new avatar, would also have upgraded features to aid citizens trying locate stolen mobiles or vehicle. Apart from registration number, the website would also have chassis and engine numbers of missing vehicles located by cops.
Interestingly, it would also have the phone numbers of police personnel patrolling in different respective area. "Several police stations have also provided us mobile number of the beat or detection in-charges of different localities and those have been put on the website. They would help citizens contact the right police personnel for any professional work. It would also further reduce the response time," said a cop. The website, apart from other features, would also have sections of missing children and information on cyber crime.
Under guidance of city police chief Praveen Dixit and additional commissioner Anup Kumar Singh, the city police's website can be termed as one of the most citizen-friendly police portal of state. A team under sub-inspector Vikas Kumbhar, constables Jeetendra Tiwari, Umesh Sharanagate and Pranesh Badhiye toiled under supervision of Singh for last few months to put the facilities together.
