Bengaluru: In a major step towards modernising the police force in the city, the Hoysalas (mobile squads) have been provided with tablet-equipped Maruti Suzuki Ertigas. The new cars will replace Mahindra Boleros which were reportedly old and in shabby condition.
Each of the 222 Ertigas has been fitted with seven-inch, all-weather tablets - Panasonic Toughpad FZ-B2 - that will help the units in better co-ordination. These tablets - which are shockproof, dustproof and waterproof - will also serve as a link to the main control room.
Interestingly, the Hoysalas will now be stationed at locations across the city instead of constantly patrolling. For this, 1600 locations have also been identified.
