Rajkot police sign MoU with i-Hub

Rajkot: With an aim to get tech-savvy so as to maximise its productivity, Rajkot police has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Innovation Hub (i-Hub). As part of the MoU, the i-Hub will provide various technological solutions to the police department.
i-Hub is Gujarat state government enterprise which guides start-ups to develop technology and solutions required by various public and private sector entities. This hub collects the requirements of various public and private sectors and asks the start-ups to provide solutions for them.
Rajkot city police commissioner Manoj Agarwal said that the department is hopeful that the MoU will bring in good results. “We need to utilize technology to manage our day-to-day activities more efficiently. Technology can also help us in maintaining law and order situation. We will put our requirements before i-Hub and hope to get good solutions from them,” Agarwal said.
There are many areas in which the police department is hoping to use smart technological solutions.
Tracking the real-time position of its personnel through mobile apps for speedy deployment at crime spots and high-tech surveillance to reduce manpower allocation are some of the areas in which the police department is looking for help from i-Hub.
There are several technological applications used by police currently but the data of all the applications is scattered, the police department also wants to sync that data.
