Tambaram City Police have launched 'Tambaram What’sCop', an AI-powered WhatsApp chatbot for police services and emergency assistance. The service, available in Tamil and English, can be accessed by sending 'hi' to 9344-222-100 or scanning a QR code, police said. The platform lets users share their live location during emergencies. It includes a 'Track My Journey' feature, designed for women travelling alone, to alert police about unusual delays. Citizens can also anonymously report illegal activities, find the nearest police station, register cybercrime complaints, and trace lost phones through the CEIR portal.
