HYDERABAD, Nov 11 (BNC Network) India’s first and the most integrated Telangana State Police Public Safety Integrated Operations Centre was today inaugurated at Gachibowli in the premises of Cyberabad Police Commissionerate.

Home Minister Mahmood Ali said TS Police is India’s number 1 police. They are role models to many. They are always in the forefront in embracing Technology. Their novel initiatives are being replicated elsewhere. He complimented police for all their good work. For every 1,000 people living in the city there are 30 CCTVs are installed, he said.
Telangana Director General of Police M.

The new facility is developed using distributive technologies such as Scalable Video Platform, Big-Data Driven Insights & Scalable Data Lake, Computer Vision & Facial Recognition, IoT Integration & Data Correlation, Machine Learning—Recommendation Engine, Geo-spatial Analytics and Cyber Security.
A survey has shown that Hyderabad has 65% of total CCTVs set up in the country. The city has 5 lakh CCTVs. Which serve as deterrent for offenders. In fact, the CM has mandated for ten lakh CCTVs. I am sure, police are on the job.
