| AI Analytical Tools | Analyzes regional crime patterns for predictive policing |
Sustainable Infrastructure and Police Welfare
The Home Department’s design also prioritizes eco-friendly infrastructure and the mental well-being of the force. The facilities will feature green energy designs, complete with extensive solarization, water filtration plants, and energy-efficient lighting to ensure uninterrupted 24/7 power supply. Additionally, police personnel will gain access to modern workplaces, digital libraries, recreational rest areas, and ongoing training modules.
