Advanced mobiles for beat constables To put a check on beat constables and patrolling police personnel, the Urban Superintendent of Police introduced a new system to monitor their movements round-the-clock. On many occasions, the control room staff is facing many difficulties in finding the exact location of beat staff and to coordinate with them as per their needs. Hence, specialised mobile phones were introduced using advanced technology for tracking the movements and keeping 'on-line' vigil on the staff, the Superintendent of Police said. He distributed 31 mobile phones to beat constables, which will be monitored by control room staff, round-the-clock so as to guide and instruct them according to the needs, he added. These phones would help not only to the track the movements of staff, but also to find the exact location and performance while on beat duty, he explained.
