In a move to enhance public safety and improve law enforcement capabilities, the Jharkhand Police has introduced the use of drones for surveillance and traffic management. This advanced technology marks a significant shift in the state’s policing methods, offering an innovative way to monitor public spaces, manage traffic flow, and reduce crime. The deployment of drones is part of Jharkhand Police’s efforts to modernize their operations, ensure greater efficiency in maintaining law and order, and improve response times to emergencies.
Objectives of Drone Deployment
The Jharkhand Police aims to use drones to strengthen security across the state, especially in crowded areas, public events, and congested traffic zones. Drones provide real-time aerial surveillance, enabling law enforcement to observe a wide area from above and respond swiftly to emerging situations. This technology offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional surveillance methods, covering vast areas that may otherwise be difficult to monitor efficiently.
Drones are being particularly useful for traffic management, where they assist in monitoring congestion, ensuring smooth traffic flow, and addressing violations such as unauthorized parking and traffic rule violations. Additionally, drones will be deployed for crowd control during public events, ensuring the safety and security of participants.
