The new system will increase the transmission speed of the messages to be sent from one station to another, making it non-disruptive from other concurrent transmitted messages.

“The change was made at the Command-and-Control Centre located at Reserve Police Line of Police Commissionerate, Lucknow,” said a press statement by Lucknow Police. “Thus, making Lucknow’s Command and Control Center more technologically advanced, fast communication & controls,” added Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Aparna Rajat Kaushik.

“The trunking system provides multiple channels and common groups for policemen. This way, they are communicating with more personnel using fewer groups. Groups are formed based on geographical areas and functions. It will also have a voice logger system, which can be used to describe a crime scene, interrogation details, and evidence. The logs are saved in the system,” said an official from the Command-and-Control Center located at Reserve Police Line.

On this occasion Joint Commissioner of Police (JCP) Law and Order Upendra Kumar Aggarwal, JCP Crime Akash Kulhari, Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police East, Syed Ali Abbas, among other officials, were present.
