Islamabad, August 30, 2023 (PPI-OT): According to the details, a meeting was held to discuss the enhancement of security in public parks and markets focusing on effectively identifying stolen or lost mobile phones through IMEI numbers, a police public relation officer said.
He said that the purpose of the meeting was to devise strategies for tracing mobile phones of accused involved in thefts and criminal activities using IMEI numbers as well as to overhaul the recording and obsolete systems.
The IT experts highlighted that if an individual changes the IMEI number of a mobile phone and uses it on another device, it can be determined which IMEI number is original and which one has been altered.
On this occasion, the CDA Officers emphasized the need for assistance from Islamabad Capital Police in transforming public parks into modern facilities.
