Concerned over slow progress in the implementation of 'Safe City Project', the Centre has asked the police forces of seven mega cities in the country to speed up setting up of the Command Control Centre (CCC) under it.
In a communication, the Home Ministry has asked police forces of Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad to take all possible action for establishment of the CCC and do the needful to remove all hurdles in the implementation of the project.
"The CCC is the heart of the Safe City Project. When it comes into existence, the police will find itself well equipped in preventing crime and will be better able to respond to and detect crime," a Home Ministry official said.
The CCC would be a kind of large hall, may have two or three sections within it. The CCC should have a network of computer systems which would enable collection of feeds (data-audio, video, text) from CCTVs and other devices and should have the capacity to store, analyse and disseminate it wherever required.
There would be video walls, where live feed from CCTV installed in the city would be received continuously with flexibility to focus (zero-in) on a particular CCTV camera. It should also have the facility of Geographical Information System to know the exact location to a source from where the data is coming to the command centre.
This centre would be something like ATC at airports which will control and direct the functioning of policemen, police cars etc. For timely action.
The control room should have another small section where data from CCTVs relating to specific areas of the city which are sensitive from crime or law and order point of view can be received and analysed in a dedicated fashion.
This section should have dedicated and efficient staff to take prompt action in the event of emergencies.
