The first-ever Hyderabad City Police Hackathon is being organized by the Hyderabad Police in collaboration with IIIT- Hyderabad, IIT- Hyderabad, JNTU- Hyderabad as Knowledge Partners and with Government of Telangana Innovation ecosystem through WE Hub as an implementing partner.
Why a Police Hackathon?
The goal of the hackathon is to incorporate new technologies into policing. The police force needs to keep pace with changing times and incorporate more technology into making policing transparent, predictive and more important cities and states safer of the citizen.
Gov 2.0 is the next generation of government which is public service renewal where government becomes more efficient, responsive, and open to citizens. It is a paradigm shift, and, with citizen engagement, it is a societal transformation that includes citizens in governmental deliberation and decision making. The sharing of public data and encouraging citizens to explore what is available is vital to this initiative. Government entities across the world starting from the National to state and local agencies are focusing on promoting transparency, finding new and better ways to collaborate and participate with the public through the use of technologies like social media, citizen-centric websites and mobile applications.
The Hyderabad City Police has been and is always a Tech-Savvy force that has been at the forefront of using technologically-enabled solutions to policing issues in its bid to serve the policing needs of the citizens.
