assisting women, children, and senior citizens in fighting crime and calling for help during
emergencies. EPSS automates this function by providing:
a) a user friendly interface for the Call Takers in the Control Room who receives emergency
messages
b) a user-friendly app for Mobile Data Terminals mounted in police rescue vehicles.
c) an external Personal Security Device from which emergency messages are generated and sent
to Control Room

d) a free mobile App that can act as a personal security device which could be used by any citizen
owning an android smart phone, for emergency purposes.

The system brings about maximum automation in the Police Control Room Operations, real-time
monitoring and management of Control Room Vehicles. This is expected to reduce the response
time, offer better service to the people in distress and improve law and order situation.
