Gujarat's Tech Revolution: How AI Cameras and 3D-Printed Police Stations Are Changing Policing

Gujarat is taking a massive tech leap in policing. Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi is inaugurating a new, modern Khaki Bhavan that brings better facilities to all police personnel. The district is rolling out AI-equipped vehicles and a high-tech control room to secure upcoming industrial zones like Sanand and Dholera. In a national first, Dholera will even get a 3D-printed police station as part of this security upgrade.

Key Points: Harsh Sanghavi Inaugurates Ahmedabad's AI-Equipped Khaki Bhavan

  • New Khaki Bhavan extends IPS-level facilities to all police personnel in Ahmedabad
  • AI-powered Innova cars with face recognition cameras to provide real-time criminal alerts
  • High-tech control room near Sanand GIDC to prevent satellite interference for semiconductor plants
  • Dholera to get India's first 3D-printed police station with machinery imported from Japan

Gujarat Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi to inaugurate state-of-the-art Khaki Bhavan in Ahmedabad

Gujarat Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi inaugurates a state-of-the-art Khaki Bhavan in Ahmedabad, launching AI-powered policing and a 3D-printed station for Dholera.

"The 'ADR-Shield' platform would enhance security. - Om Prakash Jat, Ahmedabad District Police Chief"

Ahmedabad, December 18

A new, state-of-the-art Khaki Bhavan has been constructed at the Ahmedabad Rural Police Headquarters. It will be inaugurated on Thursday by the Minister of State for Home, Harsh Sanghavi, along with several other key projects.

Through the Khaki Bhavan, many facilities that were available to IPS officers in the IPS mess have now been created for police personnel as well. In addition, the state's Ahmedabad district is set to undergo a complete digital transformation in policing. Innova cars will be equipped with body-mounted Face Recognition Cameras integrated with Artificial Intelligence. Beyond identifying wanted criminals, these cameras will provide real-time alerts to the police when suspicious activity is detected.

According to sources, a high-tech control room will be established near Sanand GIDC, with land already allocated. Moreover, to support the upcoming semiconductor plants, the control room will ensure there are no satellite interference interruptions. Dedicated teams of police and cyber experts will be deployed for specialised security operations.

In view of the possibility of large industries establishing operations in the newly expanding special zones of Sanand and Dholera in the coming days, the state government has entrusted the Ahmedabad District Police Chief, Om Prakash Jat, with ensuring world-class security. Regarding this, Jat stated that the 'ADR-Shield' platform would enhance security. This system will integrate the Human Resource Management System (HRMS), Dossier Management System, Daily Crime Report, and 'Abhay Yatri' for safety and management.

On similar lines, Dholera will become the country's first 3D-printed police station, with the machinery to be imported from Japan. High-tech drones will conduct night patrolling over semiconductor plants in Sanand GIDC, and during the day, half a dozen AI-equipped camera cars will monitor the area for suspicious activities and known criminals.

In addition, an HRMS portal has been developed to track approximately 1,400 police personnel in the district. This includes police data, as well as the identities and proof of identity of artisans working as labourers across the district, so that if someone is suspicious or runs away after committing a crime, they can be identified immediately.

While the tech sounds impressive, I hope equal focus is given to the basic needs of our police constables on the ground – better working hours, mental health support, and timely salaries. A fancy building and AI cars are good, but the human element is most important.

A 3D-printed police station? Importing machinery from Japan? The cost must be enormous. Would this money not be better spent on more police stations in rural areas of the state where basic infrastructure is lacking? Feels like a showpiece project.

The HRMS portal tracking labourers' identities... I understand the security need, but we must ensure this doesn't lead to profiling or harassment of migrant workers. Strong data protection laws and oversight are crucial with such powerful systems.

Good to see facilities being extended to all police personnel, not just IPS officers. The Khaki Bhavan should improve morale. The 'Abhay Yatri' and real-time alert systems, if implemented well, can make a real difference in crime prevention. Hope it works on the ground.

As someone working in tech, the integration of AI for face recognition and drone patrolling is world-class. Gujarat is clearly positioning itself as a future-ready industrial hub. The focus on securing semiconductor plants is smart, given their strategic importance.
