It will not be easy to take leave from duty in Chandigarh Police, because now it will be mandatory for 7 thousand jawans of Chandigarh Police to reach duty on time. Now their attendance will be marked through face ID. A circular has been issued to all the police stations by SP Headquarters Manjeet Sheoran in this regard. This new system will be implemented from June 1.
Under this, all the policemen will have to download a special app in their mobile. Their face ID profile will be created in this app, and after reaching duty every day, attendance will have to be given from the same app.
The special thing is that when a jawan marks attendance, his location will also be automatically tracked, so that it can be ensured that he is present at his duty location.
Sabha officers will have to mark attendance
Till now, biometric attendance was taken only of the jawans posted in the police headquarters, but now this system will be implemented in the entire police department. Earlier, attendance of inspectors and other senior officers was not marked, but now policemen of all ranks will mark their attendance through the face attendance app.
The jawans posted in the traffic wing of Chandigarh Police already have to reach their duty point and mark their attendance through selfie. Now on the same lines, face attendance is being made mandatory in the entire department.
Action will be taken for absence
In the new system, if a policeman does not mark his attendance, it will be considered his absence. Earlier this rule was applicable in the headquarters, now the jawans doing duty in the field will also come under its purview. This will ensure punctuality and accountability in the police department.
