A new traffic violation management software, equipped with advanced technological improvements for ease of use, was launched today (21) under the leadership of Acting Inspector General of Police, Attorney-at-Law Priyantha Weerasooriya, at the Police CCTV Division.
According to the police, this software will be implemented within the CCTV Division from today to take legal action against drivers who do not adhere to traffic regulations.
The software has been provided to the police by Prime Management Services (Pvt) Ltd.
From February 1, 2024, the Sri Lanka Police began issuing penalty notices to vehicle owners for traffic violations captured through CCTV systems installed primarily in Colombo and surrounding cities. These penalty notices, accompanied by video evidence of the violation, are sent directly to the registered vehicle owner’s residence.
As of now, the police report that 12,918 violations captured through CCTV footage have been prosecuted, and charge sheets containing video evidence of the offenses have been forwarded to the respective police stations covering the areas where the offenders reside.
The police media unit explained that the previous software caused significant challenges for officers performing these duties due to its complexity. The new software has been introduced to address these difficulties and streamline the process. (NewsWire)
