eBeatbook Chandigarh Police APP
System will have 2 components
e-beatbook – for beat functionary
e-Saathi – for citizen services
e-beatbook is a software application which will enable the police beat/division staff to digitalize the data pertaining to his/her beat using the smart phones entrusted to them viz. the details regarding Leading Citizens, License Holders, people aiding criminals, important/ vulnerable places, hotels/guest houses, religious places, slum areas, criminals operating/residing in the area , community policing initiatives etc. that was earlier being manually filled by the beat officers in his beat
Key Objectives of e-beatbook are:
• Reviving of beat constable system for collection of information as emphasized upon by Hon’ble Prime Minister of India in DG/IG’s Conference in Gujrat 2015.
• To empower and make accountable the police personnel at beat/division level (SIs/ASIs/Head constables/Constable) by assigning them the responsibility. In absence a mechanism for micro-management, the lower rank police personnel were easily shirking the responsibility and SHO was being held responsible for every ill.
• To develop an authentic system for reporting, prompt redressal and timely disposal of complaints made by the citizens.
