In a crime review meeting that was held on Thursday, the Delhi Police told Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal that there is an added emphasis on beat patrolling to curb street crimes and identify vulnerable areas.
“Preventive measures such as group patrolling by Distt. DCsP/Addl.DCsP, emphasis on beat patrolling system, enhanced police presence and identification of vulnerable areas based on crime patterns in each police station were discussed,” said a statement issued from the L-G’s office.
Presentations made
In addition, Mr. Baijal also reviewed some of the digital apps the police have introduced in the past three years. A presentation on some of these apps, how they are used and what purpose they serve was also made. The police apprised the LG on how the property theft app helps an investigating officer complete investigation and documentation timely and results in early disposal of cases to reduce pendency in police stations and courts.
“Quicker reaction time through increased police presence in the area, gathering of macro-intelligence by district police as well as specialised units against criminal gangs, closer surveillance on known-criminals, follow up of activities of criminals coming out of jail after conviction or release on bail, public participation to control crime through schemes like ‘Eyes and Ears’ Scheme, which help in reducing motor vehicle thefts and other property thefts are also some of the recent steps taken,” the statement further said.
