The Punjab Safe Cities Authority (PSCA) established under the PSCA Act 2016, is responsible for establishing, developing and maintaining integrated Command, Control & Communication system for Police in major cities of the province for public safety. Safe City is a concept for returning security and quality of life to today’s complex cities through the use of modern technology, infrastructure and processes.
In order to realize the vision of developing safe cities in the province, PPIC3 Centre has been developed for Punjab Police in the city of Lahore, Kasur and Nankana Sahab, which will be subsequently established in the larger cities of the province. The PSCA identified 2000 locations in Lahore and installed 8,000 cameras for surveillance through a comprehensive survey. That includes the coverage of public institutions, public roads, crime hot-spots, VVIP routes, entry & exit points and public places.
The PSCA is helping in active police response on 15 emergency calls across Punjab.
