On daily basis, the data of each police station is being incorporated while IGP Islamabad, DIG, SSP (Operations), Zonal SPs, SDPOs, SHOs and police operators can access this data round the clock even on their smart phones, laptops and personal computers. This system has complete security features and anyone trying to access it wrongly would be traced through generation of a computerized message.
