“Criminals have no place to hide in Vizag city now,” says Shankbrath Bagchi, Visakhapatnam CP, after introducing drone policing – World News Network

Vizag (Visakhapatnam) [India] July 7, (ANI): The Vizag city police have introduced special drone policing to enhance crime prevention, detect bike racing, and improve overall safety in the city.
Visakhapatnam Commissioner of Police (CP) Shanka Brata Bagchi stated that the initiative marks a significant step toward leveraging technology to tackle antisocial activities and bolster law enforcement efforts. Currently, one Mars T6 Indian-made drone and 20 Matrix 4T drones are operating in the city, with one drone allocated to every police station within the city limits, he added.
Mars 6T drone can capture visuals up to 5km range from a flying height of 100 metres. However, it should be attached to a power source. Now, Vizag police are attaching a 250kV generator to operate a drone. Once we plug in the power, it can fly for more than 10 hours in the air. It needs four persons to operate the drone. One person needs to stand at the power box, and two other people need to manage the two control systems.
The city police aim to allocate two drones to every police station across the city. These drones are equipped with advanced day and night vision capabilities, searchlights, and sirens. They are designed not only to monitor isolated and hard-to-access areas but also to record footage that can be crucial in identifying and apprehending suspects. This will make it increasingly difficult for criminals to operate undetected, especially in locations where antisocial behaviours like open drinking, gambling, and drug abuse have been reported.
Bagchi highlighted that drones could also sound sirens to alert both the public and law enforcement in real time during emergencies, ensuring faster responses to incidents. To optimise the use of this technology, special training programs have been initiated for city police officers. These training sessions aim to equip personnel with the necessary skills to operate drones efficiently and utilise their full potential in crime prevention and investigation.
“We have started drone policing in a big way. The purposes that drone serves are manifold. In remote areas, drones are highly effective in keeping surveillance from the sky and can identify any illegal activity from a distance. They can also play a significant role in VIP security arrangements and traffic management,” said CP Shanka Brata Bagchi.
He further stated that the primary goal of drone policing in Vizag is to prevent, detect, and monitor crimes while improving public safety. The deployment of drones is expected to serve as both a deterrent to criminals and a reassurance to the city’s residents. With the addition of drone surveillance, previously isolated and risky locations will become safer. Additionally, Bagchi stressed that the presence of drones would reduce antisocial behaviours and help law enforcement maintain order more effectively.
With this pioneering move, Vizag joins the ranks of cities embracing innovative solutions to modern policing challenges. The police’s strategic adoption of drone technology not only underlines their commitment to improving public safety but also paves the way for more technologically advanced law enforcement practices in the future. As this initiative unfolds, the residents of Visakhapatnam city can look forward to a more secure and peaceful environment under the vigilant eyes of drone patrols.
The CP’s vision for a tech-enabled policing system promises to reduce crimes and make Vizag a model city for smart policing.
Additionally, Bagchi mentioned that the drones’ ability to patrol remote areas ensures a more comprehensive reach of law enforcement. By using these flying sentinels, the police can identify potential trouble spots and respond proactively before crimes escalate. Bagchi emphasised that criminals now have “nowhere to hide” and urged them to abandon illegal activities, as either the police or the drones will catch them. (ANI)
