Gota's new defense system in SL

 Monday, 24 February 2014

Sri Lankan Police department says that an automated fingerprint system would be introduced soon under the consultation of Defense Secretary Gotabaya Rajapksha.

This system enables a policeman stationed anywhere in the island to use the software with him to ascertain whether a person is a criminal or not.

Speaking at a special media briefing at the police headquarters yesterday (23),  Police spokesman SSP Ajith Rohana said this sophisticated system, which will be the only of its kind in South Asia, would enable police to obtain details of any person within three minutes.

Noting that the police has details of around 500,000 criminals, the police spokesman said that 130,000 of this figure are already dead or unable to be found. According to present facilities, it can be done soon.

The new system would easily enable public to obtain police reports required when applying for a passport or for an interview, the police spokesman further said.
