BHUBANESWAR: A unified command and control centre (UCCC) to help police control and investigate crimes with the help of IT solutions was inaugurated by chief minister
Naveen Patnaik
on the occasion of the 16th Raising Day ceremony of the
commissionerate police
on Tuesday.
"In this glorious journey of 16 years, the commissionerate police have grown substantially.
I am delighted to inaugurate the unified command and control centre and launch the 'e- Abedan' app. This will make the organisation more robust and help the police become more people-friendly," Naveen said.
While explaining the functioning of the new IT platform, police commissioner
Saumendra Priyadarsi
said, "UCCC will support the seamless unification of various public safety elements like incident management, emergency response system, criminal tracking and official record management. The system will have surveillance-related features like facial recognition system,
video summarization
, crowd estimation and management and detection of abandoned objects."
A key feature of the technology is integration of the cameras of private establishments, including residential units, with the UCCC to enable the police to quickly access citizens' cameras without any hassle during investigation of crimes.
Sanjib Kumar Dash, the managing director of
VL Access India
which executed the project, said, "UCCC will have surveillance-related features like AI-enabled facial recognition system, video summarization, crowd estimation and management and detection of abandoned objects."
Sources said 800 CCTV cameras in Bhubaneswar, 400 in Cuttack and 300 community cameras have been integrated with the setup. Using the technology, police can locate wanted criminals and details of vehicles used in crimes quickly.
