E-reporting to go nationwide

Khalid: Rate of expansion depends on available infrastructure

KUALA LUMPUR: The e-reporting programme for non-criminal cases will be expanded nationwide soon, said Tan Sri Khalid Abu Bakar.

The Inspector-General of Police said the programme, which was launched at the Taman Tun Dr Ismail police station here in March and later expanded to the six police districts in the city, is now available throughout the Klang Valley.

The programme is to help the public lodge police reports on cases that do not involve crime, such as misplaced documents.

“However, it is not for crime-related or traffic accident cases as those have legal implications,” he told a press conference at Bukit Aman yesterday.

He added that the rate of expansion nationwide will depend on the infrastructure available.

Meanwhile, the number of people nabbed in the ongoing Ops Cantas Khas has risen to 70.

Khalid said the operation is to crack down on organised crime and make sure that youths and students are not involved.

“When we launched the operation, we targeted those who influenced youngsters and school students to join the gangs,” he said.

However, he denied that a specific race was being targeted in the operation, saying that it was also launched in Sabah against groups that commit cross-border crimes.

On another matter, he announced that police have procured 444 units of HF Tactical TR2000 Grintek Manpack radios, to be distributed to six General Operations Force brigades, including the East Sabah brigade, 69 Komando unit, Special Branch (E1), Air Wing Unit, Marine Operations Force and several police contingents.

The radios will be distributed in stages, with the first stage expected to begin on Oct 31. He added that the Strategic Resources and Technology Department has also upgraded its Command, Control, Communications and Computer Integration Centre (C4I) involving three pilot sites, including the Federal police Malaysia Control Centre, the Contingent Control Centre and the Sentul district Control Centre.
