Cool pic- what do you mean by "old"? Are they being replaced by somthing newer?


These are used for crowd control right?
 
. .
It's "old" going by the vehicle's reg number and condition, mate.




Yup! One of these is usually stationed outside the 1857 Indian Freedom Memorial.
Cool. Can you explain how you deduce the age of a vehicle from looking at its number plate? Apart from the first two letters relating to the State registration I don't know what the other symbols relate to.

As you've rightly pointed out, the 2-letters at the beginning of every Indian licence plate denote the State code. The next two digits denote the RTO (which is the equivalent of the DMV), the next few 6-7 digit alpha-numerical combination is the actual vehicle number.

Taking the Mahindra above as an example; MH = Maharashtra; 01 = Tardeo (South Bombay) RTO; ZA 486 is the actual vehicle number. The 'ZA' series is usually reserved for special vehicles/government and police vehicles in Maharashtra, and has been around for some time, and the fact that it's only 3 digits i.e '486', means that it's an early reg in the series. In Bombay, all MH 01 reg vehicles are from the island city, MH 02/03 - western and eastern suburbs respectively, MH 04 - Thane, MH 05 - Kalyan + Ulhasnagar etc.

DELHI POLICE'S NEW PCR VANS:


Tired of facing allegation of delays and misconduct by PCR van personnel, the department has decided to equip all vans and police motorcycles with cameras and recording devices to capture real-time video feed of incidents.

The move is expected to improve police image and raise culpability.

The strength of police control room vans is set to reach 1,000 with the much-awaited induction of 370 vans on Monday.

The setups would be equipped with 3G wireless connectivity to transfer live feeds to the command centre.

"These steps are going to restore integrity in police functioning ," a top cop said.

The PCR vans will also have a computer terminal which will facilitate extraction and verification of numberplates during vehicle checks and accidents to ascertain if they are stolen .

Delhi Police will now be at your doorstep in half the time than usual.

In its bid to cut the response time of distress and emergency calls, the city police have procured a new device and are in the process of developing a software with which any call made to the central police control room (CPCR) will also reach the nearest police station.


This initiative, christened the CPCR-police stations connectivity project, is the first of its kind in the country. The motive behind inducting the new and advanced “first responder system” is to cut short the response time taken by police vehicles in reaching the distressed caller, besides ensuring active participation of local policemen in emergency situations.

Currently, the average time taken by a PCR van to reach the crime spot after receiving a distress call from the caller varies between three and 10 minutes, police say. If senior police officers are to be believed, the new system will help bring down the response time to a maximum of seven minutes.

TN Mohan, special commissioner of police (operations), said the cost of the project was around Rs. 2.25 crore and its installation process would be completed in the next couple of weeks.

While explaining the functioning of the advanced first-responder system, Mohan said the hardware, which consisted of servers and computers, would be connected to terminals and telephones at police stations through the cyber highway.

“The new system will allow calls made to the CPCR to also reach the district control rooms and local police stations. It is a multi-tasking, single-point delivery system which will help us in involving local police and ensuring their presence at the crime spot without waiting for the arrival of the PCR van,” said Mohan, adding that he hopes that the advanced system will be functional by the end of July.


Any distress call now made to 100 (the CPCR number) is first received by an attendant who decides the police station concerned and forwards the call to the dispatcher. The dispatcher finds the location of the caller and dispatches the call to the district control room concerned from where the local police gets information about the call.

“In the present scenario, the role of the local police was only to arrive at the crime spot and begin their investigation. In emergency calls like road accidents, the local police reach the accident spot normally when the victims were already taken to the nearest hospital by the PCR van. But after the competition of the project, they will be bound to reach the crime spots either before or seconds after the arrival of the PCR van,” said a senior police officer.

Indian police and patrol sedans dine at separate tables.

Sedans don't suit us, we need SUVs.

I want all Indian metropolitan cops to patrol in Mahindra XUV500 or Tata Safari Storme.

It should be a mix IMHO. In cities where the roads are excellent and it is urban patrolling then sedans are fine but a few XUV-500s/STORMES would be good to have aorund. Same goes for highways/expressways. Then for rural/semi-rural cops the SUVs are a must.

+ @Gessler seeing bloody Gypsys/innovo SUVs being used as "interceptors" or patrol vehicles on highways is the most absurd concept- they aren't going to have the performance to pursue any speeding vehicles nor cover large distances in short-spans.

XUV 500 is the best car I can see that Indian police should be moving around in...





Sedan or SUV we should only buy vehicles from Indian carmakers in bulk. I hate the idea of
giving out such contracts to Toyota, Chevrolet or others. Mahindra/Tata cars are selling big
in Indian market, if the common Indian middle-class citizen finds these local makers' cars
respectable, why are the public services not passing a rule that only those cars made by
local manufacturers should be bought for any public service department?

Stupid politicians...don't know where to push the button and where to not. And they
talk about driving local industrial entities' growth.

XUV should be able to catch anything except a sports car.

Just sayin'

Although we should have dedicated high-speed interceptors for national highways and outer ring
roads...
