While I appreciate the tech upgrades, I hope the police will also focus on improving response times in rural areas. The cities get all the attention while villages still struggle with basic policing.

The AI cameras and vehicle tracking sound impressive, but what about data privacy? Hope there are proper safeguards in place for citizens' information being collected and stored.
