 Police will work with data, not with batons

Regarding the “E-Rakshak App”, the Director General of Police informed that Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had said in his address in the conference that “In this electronic age, the police need to work with data instead of batons.” In accordance with his wishes, information about habitual criminals will be available to policemen with a single click through the MP E-Rakshak App. Policemen will be able to see the information of habitual criminals living in their duty area simultaneously. During patrolling, the name of the suspect can be searched in the criminal database. Along with this, information related to the accused can be obtained by uploading his photo under the face recognition module. Along with this, by going to the vehicle search window, information related to the vehicle can be obtained by the vehicle registration, engine or chassis number. Information about stolen and seized vehicles can also be obtained. The trial run of this app equipped with other facilities has been started in a phased manner in Bhopal, Indore and other districts.

Disha Learning App

Director General of Police Mr. Saxena said that due to the nature of their work, policemen are not able to pay attention to the education of their children due to their busy schedule and being on duty outside the headquarters. In this regard, Disha Learning App Centers have been established to provide an educational environment to the children of policemen in terms of state-of-the-art education. These centers have been started in districts and battalions. Children of policemen will be able to get education in these centers. Students will be able to get comprehensive information and guidance from the app. Along with this, they will also be provided career guidance. This app has been made for students of classes 8th and above. This app will help the students in determining the direction related to further studies and employment.
