Coimbatore rural police launch 24x7 two-wheeler patrolling system
Coimbatore: The Coimbatore rural police on Friday launched 'Smart Khakis', a 24x7 two-wheeler patrolling system aimed at reducing crime rates, ensuring visible policing, and protecting children and women. Coimbatore district superintendent of police Dr K Karthikeyan said the two-wheeler patrolling vehicles will function round-the-clock. Thirty-five customized motorcycles with GPS trackers will be used for the patrol system. While heavy police stations will have two to three patrol vehicles, other stations will have one vehicle each. He said that the locations of the patrol vehicles could be tracked with GPS devices fitted on them. This enables the staff on duty at the police control room to dispatch the nearest vehicle to a location upon receiving an emergency call. The two-wheeler patrol police personnel were given special training for two days. They were trained to use the police facial recognition system, e-challan machine, Vahan app, breathalyser, advanced body-worn cameras, and smart communication systems.

Coimbatore District Police introduce 24x7 ‘Smart Khakis' patrol system
The Coimbatore District (Rural) Police on Friday launched 'Smart Khakis', a 24x7 two-wheeler patrolling system aimed at increasing visible policing and preventing crimes. District Superintendent of Police K. Karthikeyan said 35 customised motorcycles with GPS tracker will be used for the patrol system. While heavy stations will have two to three patrol vehicles, other stations will have one vehicle each. He said the locations of the patrol vehicles could be tracked with the GPS devices fitted on them. This enables the staff on duty at the police control to despatch a vehicle that is closest to a location upon getting a call for emergency response. Before the launch, a special training was given to personnels selected for the patrol system from all the police stations for two days. They were trained to use the facial recognition system of the police, e-challan machine, Vahan app and breathalyser among others. They have been given advanced body-worn cameras and smart communication systems. 'The main aim of the system is to improve the visibility of the police and prevent crimes, especially the ones against women and children. We also aim to reduce the response time taken in cases of emergency. Each policeman in the patrol system is equipped with multiple devices for swift response,' he said. The SP added that the new patrol system was an addition to the already functioning two-wheeler beat patrols and four-wheeler patrols of police stations and the highway patrol system.
