New Delhi, March 27 The Delhi Police has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) to enhance technology-driven policing and strengthen operational capabilities, an official said on Friday.
The collaboration aims to leverage indigenous and secure telecom solutions developed by C-DOT to improve communication systems, surveillance, cybersecurity, and emergency response mechanisms within the force.
According to a statement, the partnership will facilitate the deployment of advanced applications tailored for modern policing needs. Key technologies include a Facial Recognition System (FRS), which will assist in identifying suspects, missing persons, and repeat offenders by matching images with existing databases.
"A unified communication platform, SAMVAD, will enable secure messaging, audio, and video calls, and data sharing among various police units. SAMVAD Prime, a handset-based secure messaging system, will be used for sensitive communications among senior officers and operational teams," the statement read.
C-DOT Meet, a web-based video conferencing solution, will support briefings, coordination, and training sessions, while the Mission Critical Services (MCX) platform will ensure secure and low-latency communication during emergencies, disaster response, and large-scale law-and-order situations.
The statement added that the Intelligent Attendance System, based on facial recognition, will improve administrative efficiency and prevent proxy attendance, while the Cell Broadcast Solution will enable geo-targeted alerts for public advisories, traffic updates, and emergency warnings.
The Trinetra Security Operations Centre, an AI-powered cybersecurity platform, will further strengthen the protection of Delhi Police's IT infrastructure, including critical systems. Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golchha and C-DOT CEO Raj Kumar Upadhyay, along with senior officials, highlighted that the collaboration would enhance operational efficiency and help build a robust, technology-driven policing ecosystem in the national capital.
