SECURITY

BODY WORN CAMERAS:

 18 Nos. of body worn cameras worth Rs.2,87,802/- have
been procured for controlling/monitoring/detection of
crime in trains and railway premises. The footage of the
Body worn cameras is being analyzed on weekly basis at
Post & Divisional level and proper directions are being
issued to the concerned Post in-charges to ensure that
core areas/incidents are covered by the cameras and the
initiative has been yielding good results as it is working
as a deterrent to the criminals/defaulters in trains and
railway premises.

 The crime in trains escorted by the RPF staff has come down due to the presence
of these cameras and Train escorting staff alertness has improved drastically.
Body worn cameras are instrumental in bringing down the corruption complaints
from passengers. This is playing a vital role in instilling the confidence of security
among passengers and the overall image of RPF and in particular Railways.

SMART PHONES:

 26 smart phones total worth Rs.1,68,064/- were procured for
utilization of RPF train escort parties and platform duty staff
over Hyderabad Division. With this, Hyderabad Division has
become the first Division in SCR and also in Indian Railways to
provide this. These smart phones are considered as an effective
smart tool to detect the cases reported in railways. To keep the
smart phone access restricted only to the official user group, a
separate application is planned for loading in these smart mobile
phones.

 In addition to the above, smart phone procurement has improved
the communication among train escorting staff, security control and field units in-
charges, which is enabling the field unit in-charges reach the incident spots
immediately without any delay.

Distribution of Motor Cycles to RPF Staff:

 06 nos. of Bullet motor cycles of Royal Enfield make have been procured by the
division and distributed to RPF Out post in-charges on 18-07-2019. This will help
the RPF in reaching the crisis situations immediately.
