Punjagutta to be first AI powered police station in India

Punjagutta Police Station is being transformed into the country’s first artificial intelligence (AI)-powered police station, with all its services being integrated with advanced AI technology.

The pilot project is expected to be launched in the first week of December by Telangana DGP CV Anand.

City Police Commissioner VC Sajjanar, who conducted a surprise inspection of the police station on Wednesday, reviewed the ongoing technological arrangements and interacted with complainants to understand their grievances. He also examined the duties and functioning of police personnel.

As part of the initiative, AI technology will be integrated into every stage of police functioning, from receiving complaints and registering FIRs to preparing case diaries, investigation reports and charge sheets.

A 'Sethu' kiosk, already installed at the station's reception, enables complainants to submit grievances in nearly 10 languages. The AI system translates complaints into the local language and forwards them to the concerned officials within seconds.

The system will also analyse information relating to traffic congestion, hostels, commercial establishments and crime patterns in the Punjagutta police station limits. This data will help improve the deployment of Blue Colts and strengthen patrolling operations.

Sajjanar said police personnel were being provided special training to effectively use the new technology.

Following the pilot project's implementation, its performance will be evaluated before extending the AI-based policing model to police stations across the State.
