Dial 100 Project, Madhya Pradesh

Dial 100 Project Madhya Pradesh: A game-changing integrated police assistance service

MP Police is committed to providing professional law enforcement services to 51 districts, protecting the rights of the individuals, preventing crime and building community partnership and justifying its motto of ‘Desh Bhakti, Jan Seva’. Therefore,  it wanted to transform the state’s emergency response system to make it more transparent and integrated.

Challenges faced by MP Police:

• Fragmented and personality-oriented emergency response pattern
• Archaic control rooms with limited and untrained resources
• Shared vehicles to attend to emergencies
• Absence of earmarked staff, vehicles and supervisors
• Inability of the resources to handle complaints of varied nature
• Inadequate ICT infrastructure
• Unauthentic manual monitoring of vehicle usage
• No GIS support for monitoring, decision-making and jurisdictional issues
• No feedback and records for performance audit

The difference

• Services like police assistance and disaster relief now available via a single nodal point of contact
• Centralised and transparent process and real-time stamped record keeping with voice loggers, leading to fast service delivery and a significant decline in complaints from the people
• No requirement for most victims/ injured/witnesses to visit the police station

Results:

• 1000+ fleet deployed across 51 Districts
• Round the clock deployment of trained Call takers and dispatchers
• Robust Computer aided dispatch system
• 6000 + police personnel trained
• 25000+ call being received every day
