The Islamabad Capital Territory Police and Rawalpindi Police have decided to link their Safe City systems, according to reports on Wednesday. This step is expected to improve crime tracking and quick response, especially in cases of vehicle theft.
The decision was made during a meeting between SSP Operations Islamabad Qazi Ali Raza and SSP Safe City Rawalpindi Aamna Baig.
Senior officers from both sides attended the meeting, reports say. Assistant Director Safe City Islamabad Abbas Mehdi and other technical staff were also present.
Officials said both cities will now share live CCTV footage and data. This includes Automated Number Plate Recognition data. This will help police trace suspects and stolen vehicles more quickly.
The new system will also reduce response time in crime cases. Both control rooms will work together for faster action.
Officials also said that the meeting focused on improving real-time monitoring and coordination between police in both cities.
The plan will also improve round-the-clock monitoring in important areas. This includes entry and exit points and high-risk zones.
Safe City systems are already being used in many big cities in Pakistan. These systems use modern cameras and digital tools to help prevent crime and support investigations.
Similar systems in other cities have helped improve security and police performance.
In a separate meeting, SSP Operations Islamabad also reviewed the law and order situation with senior officers.
The meeting focused on speeding up pending cases. It also discussed action against wanted criminals, drug dealers, illegal weapons holders, and land grabbers.
Officials were told to increase patrolling in the city. They were also asked to ensure a visible police presence in public areas.
Police officers were directed to take quick action in serious crime cases such as murder and attempted murder. They were also told to stay alert in sensitive areas.
Authorities said there will be no tolerance for negligence. They said protecting the lives and property of citizens remains the top priority of Islamabad Police.
