PNP supports e-blotter project

VIRAC, Catanduanes, March 23 (PIA) -- The Philippine National Police (PNP) Catanduanes Provincial Headquarters targets to implement the new Crime Incident Reporting System of PNP National Headquarters dubbed as e-BLOTTER project before the end of 2012.

In line with this, police personnel from the 11 municipalities of the province attended an echo seminar on the electronic blotter system for recording crime incidents on the local level.

The e-blotter system if fully implemented in the country, will facilitate fast, easy and paperless recording of crime information using the computer machine. Through the Internet, other police stations and higher headquarters could access such information for proper coordination and police action.

The new system is a “cost-free” project since the software is being developed locally by the programmers of the PNP’s Information Technology Management Service (ITMS) and shall be installed into the desktop of every police stations and units.

However, to date, only two of the 12 police offices in the province have internet broadband connections namely the Virac and Camp Camacho headquarters which might delay the implementation of the program. (EAB- PIA, Catanduanes)
