Punjab's Sadak Surakhya Force (SSF) has unveiled plans to become India's first 3D police force by integrating drones, satellite data, and AI-powered predictive systems. The dedicated highway patrol, launched by Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann in January 2024, has already attended 43,983 road accidents between February 2024 and January 2026, assisting 47,386 people. The force claims a 45-48% drop in road accident fatalities on patrolled stretches, with deaths falling from 1,955 in 2023 to 1,016 in 2024. Equipped with 144 high-tech vehicles and over 1,600 personnel, including 28% women, the SSF responds to accidents within 6-10 minutes. Phase II will extend coverage from 5,500 km to 6,000 km of state roads.
