Drones Take Flight: Empowering Women in Delhi's Tech-Driven Policing

The Delhi Police has received 75 surveillance drones from IGDTUW to enhance technology-driven policing and public safety. This initiative, involving women officers and academic collaboration, aims to strengthen crime detection and comply with privacy norms, leveraging advanced technology for improved operations across specialized units.

The formalization came with a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed in the presence of Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena and Delhi Police Commissioner Satish Golcha. The drones, crafted by IGDTUW students, mark a significant leap in integrating technology with law enforcement, particularly under the 'Seva Pakhwada' campaign's initiatives to ensure women's safety.

Deployment across 15 districts will see these drones operational under the 'Netra-Netrutva-Naari' initiative, highlighting the crucial role of 108 trained women officers in drone operations. Compliance with privacy norms and modern technological skills aid in advancing Delhi's policing strategies.
