Here is a word of caution for those visiting places of worship on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays this month. Such places will be highly susceptible to vehicle thefts and chain snatchings on these days, according to the predictive policing system being used by the Ahmedabad police.

Predictive policing has emerged as a powerful tool in crime prevention. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to analyse vast amounts of data and make predictions about future criminal activities. By harnessing the capabilities of AI, predictive policing aims to proactively address crime hotspots, optimise resource allocation, and enhance public safety.
