KARACHI: The Sindh police has decided to introduce a modern system for officers and personnel to mark attendance through a mobile app.
The mobile app will enable Sindh police personnel to mark their attendance after reaching a specific pin location. The attendance system will be introduced for personnel of the Sindh Police Special Branch during its first phase.
It possesses a feature to detect the current location of the police officials just after logging in the software through their mobile phones. The spokesperson of Sindh police said that the attendance app is being used on an experimental basis for ensuring the presence of the officials in the deployment areas.
Last week, the Sindh Police announced that it was introducing a special ‘Skating Force’ to combat street crimes and provide relief to citizens. The force will initially be based on 20 personnel — 10 men and an equal number of women — who will carry arms while skating.
The skating force will come in handy as it will be able to chase after criminals in traffic jams, narrow alleys, and other circumstances where the regular police force or LEAs will encounter difficulties. The skating force’s personnel are being trained to shoot while skating and cross stairs, especially when they are chasing after a criminal.
Police confirmed that the training of the skating force was in its final stages and was taking place at the SSU. Â It added that skating forces are part of the police squad in several countries of the world.
