Huntsville, USA, 14 February 2007 – Intergraph Corporation has announced that the Mumbai Police, responsible for policing the vast metropolitan area of Mumbai – the financial capital of India and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world and home to over 16 million people – has implemented the company’s Incident Command and Control System.
The implementation of the Intergraph system was announced by the Honourable Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra Mr. R. R. Patil along with the Commissioner of Police A. N. Roy, at the modernized Police Main Control Room in Mumbai.
Intergraph’s Command and Control System serves as the foundational technology for the security systems of high-value assets and critical infrastructure in the public safety, government and transportation industries. As the core technology for these security systems, Intergraph’s software captures, analyzes, organizes, and shares intelligent information to provide a common operational picture to the intelligence and first-responder communities to more effectively prevent and respond to critical incidents.
-The Command and Control System
The Command and Control System, as implemented by Intergraph’s Indian distributor, Rolta India Limited, provides Mumbai Police force with the ability to quickly identify the location of a fixed line used to Dial 100 emergency call, on a map of Mumbai city.
The system also provides detailed information of any emergency event. While the emergency call details are being registered, operators can also quickly locate the nearest police patrol vehicle to the reported incident site with help of this location-aware technology.
The solution helps Police Control Room officials to immediately alert the closest patrol teams in the field to improve reaction time to any emergency incident and further better its services to the public.
“Intergraph’s Incident Command and Control System implemented by Rolta for Mumbai Police is the first project of its kind in this rapidly developing country,” said Halsey Wise, Intergraph President and CEO.
“Mumbai Police joins public safety agencies in more than 24 countries that use Intergraph’s geospatially-enabled public safety software solutions to rapidly detect and respond to critical incidents. Through our long-standing partnership with Rolta India Ltd., our India distributor, and with our 15-year history of developing software in Hyderabad, Intergraph looks to expand our public safety implementations throughout India, one of the world’s largest and fastest growing economies.”
