Mayiladuthurai Police Upgrades to Digital Communication System for Enhanced Emergency Response
TIRUCHI, Nov. 21, 2025 – The Mayiladuthurai district police have transitioned to a state-of-the-art digital communication system, significantly improving their ability to respond to emergencies swiftly and seamlessly. The upgrade, implemented under the state’s police modernization scheme, replaces the previous analog system.
The district police force has received 200 new walkie-talkie sets, 49 static sets, and 60 mobile sets. The advanced equipment is distributed across all police stations, vehicles (including patrol cars), the district control room, and to individual officers. All sets are GPS-enabled, allowing real-time tracking of police personnel and vehicles.
Superintendent of Police G. Stalin highlighted the system’s advantages, including clearer communication, lighter walkie-talkie sets, a central monitoring unit to control communication flow, group call functionality, and encrypted data transmission. The system also features a roaming capability, automatically connecting to the nearest repeater for uninterrupted coverage. The upgrade will enable faster and more efficient information dissemination to field officers.
The Mayiladuthurai district, part of the central zone, includes two sub-divisions and 14 police stations, along with specialized units like the District Crime Branch. All have been equipped with the new communication technology.
