RIYADH: The General Directorate of Public Security has launched three new initiatives aimed at enhancing security operations and services offered to citizens, residents and visitors, the Saudi Press Agency reported. 

The directorate shared details about the initiatives which were launched by Minister of Interior Prince Abdulaziz bin Saud bin Naif under the Quality of Life Program, one of the key projects of Saudi Vision 2030. 

The Leading Police Stations initiative aims to establish facilities with a modern identity and design, and equip mobile units for events and new residential neighborhoods.

The Security Equipment initiative focuses on equipping vehicles and electronic gates with technology that automatically recognizes license plates and individuals. It includes the installation of the latest security surveillance cameras to monitor the roads of neighborhoods.

The Ammn Platform Development initiative aims to automate criminal investigation procedures. The plan is to develop one data platform integrated with a unified call center. This would allow for the exchange of case-related information and the analysis of crime data.

The initiatives aim to increase the effectiveness of security coverage, keep pace with urban expansion, and ensure coordination and integration among relevant authorities.
