Conclusion

52. Public safety involves the prevention
of and protection from events that
could endanger the safety of the
general public from significant danger,general public from significant danger,
injury/harm, or damage, such as
crimes or disasters (natural or man-
made).

53. Public safety in the ICT parlance is
being talked about only in terms of
Command and Control Centers and
Safe Cities and misses out of its
purview the rural India and nonpurview the rural India and non
serious emergency situations related
to day to day Public Order and
Security

54. Homeland Security
Do we know of all the organizations which finally
merged into Homeland Security?
How did all these organizations merge so seamlesslyHow did all these organizations merge so seamlessly
into one command and control structure?
In India?

55. Safe City
A concept created by large number of companies to
provided an integrated solution to the law enforcement
requirements of a city
Centralization of command & delegation of authorityCentralization of command & delegation of authority
Integrated command
System which is able to respond in a fraction of a
second from a routine situation to a combat situation

56. Safe City
Generally based on city divided into grids
Method of allocating resources efficiently
Clear definition of rolesClear definition of roles
Proactive- Prevention and Deterrence
Response time/Turn around time

72. • VoIP calls are encrypted, bypass international
gateways and cannot be monitored.
• No regulations on VoIP
• No tracking mechanisms for VoIP in place
Internet Issues
• Why no verification before opening an email
account?
• Interception at internet gateways?
• The sheer volume of IP data and myriad ways in
which people communicate

73. • Steganography Software
• SMS spoofing, SIM cloning, IMEI modification are
serious security threats
• Unlicensed mobile access
Issues
• Unlicensed mobile access
• Thuraya Satellite phones
• Illegal ILD exchanges
