LAHORE:
The city police’s investigation wing has launched a mapping programme to identify the most dangerous areas and work out how to tackle crime there.
Police officials have been given smartphones loaded with an application designed by the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITB) and taught how to use it to map incidents of crime. The board has handed out a total of 83 phones, one to each police station.
Crime Records Office SP Mustafa Hameed Malik told The Express Tribune that three or four Police Record and Office Management Information System (Promis) personnel at each station had been taught to use the smartphone app.
