For their ‘Third Eye’, evidence-based policing with CCTV surveillance matrix in the industrial hub of Baddi.
Director General of Police (DGP) Sanjay Kundu said: “Our Command and Control Centre and CCTV Surveillance Matrix (Project Third Eye), which we implemented in Baddi police district, has been awarded the Silver Category Award for National e-Governance-2022 in the district-level category for 2021-22, Department of Administrative Reforms and Public Grievance, Government of India.”

It is an exemplary achievement and our efforts have borne fruit where we were able to encourage industries to contribute. The area has around 5,000 units and heinous crimes such as murders and dacoity were solved. It will be replicated in other districts with intelligence traffic management system and automatic number plate in major tourist clusters. I congratulate Superintendent of Police Rohit Malpani who had initiated it during his tenure in Baddi.
The initiative led to a sizeable decline in property offences such as theft and burglary and recovery of stolen property. Crime scene transformed following the installation of CCTV cameras in 2019 in the Baddi industrial belt.
A decrease of 37 per cent was registered in 2020 in the theft and burglary cases vis-à-vis 2018. While the decrease was 19 per cent in 2019, the recovery percentage, which stood at a mere 21.84 per cent in 2018, increased to 73.67 per cent in 2019 and 77.10 per cent in 2020.
Cameras were found most effective in solving cattle and mobile theft cases and burglary-related offences with 100 per cent success rate, followed by offences related to cash and jewellery theft that accounted for 83 per cent success. As many as 74 per cent of the vehicle theft cases and 64 per cent of industrial material theft cases were solved with the help of CCTV cameras. Select policemen were trained to handle CCTV cameras in a specially set up control room.

Key initiatives such as geo-tagging of CCTVs on Google Maps and surveillance through vehicle-mounted cameras were introduced for the first time in this area to step up surveillance in this crime-torn industrial belt.
