Punjab Safe Cities Authority

The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA), established under the Punjab Safe Cities Ordinance 2015, will ensure establishment, development and maintenance of an integrated command, control and communication system (PPIC3) for Police in major cities of the province for public safety.

The Safe City is a concept for returning security and quality of life to today’s complex cities through the use of technology, infrastructure, personnel and processes.

PPIC3 Center

In order to realize the vision of developing safe cities in the province, PPIC3 Center has been developed for Punjab Police in the city of Lahore, which will be subsequently established in the large cities of the province.

Recently, PSCA has identified 2000 locations for installing more than 10,000 cameras for surveillance through a comprehensive survey. That includes the coverage of public institutions, key infrastructure, public roads, crime hotspots, VVIP routes, entry & exit points and public places.

Monitoring / surveillance

The CCTV (Close Circuit Television System) provides images form the 6700 cameras that will be installed during phase 1 and phase 2.

The cameras will primarily provide images for incident and event management but will also be connected to the analytics systems. An integrated video management system (IVMS), digital recording and archiving, specific analysis tools, video walls and control system, and In- vehicle video system.

Electronic Challan System

The E-Challan system will be integrated with the RLMS and ANPR systems to send out traffic offense notices so that offenders can pay their fines over the internet.

There will also be portable terminals that will allow traffic police officers to issue traffic offense notices for incorrect or no licenses and any other traffic offenses that may have been committed.
