As part of the project implemented in Hakkari, fingerprints, identity and medication information of disabled people are recorded in the system in order to be returned to their families as soon as possible in case of loss.
With the "Pusulam Police" project, implemented by the Hakkari Provincial Police Department, it is aimed to reach the disabled people, whose fingerprints are taken and registered in the system, more easily when they are lost and to prevent the grievances that these people may experience.
The Community Policing Branch (TDP) has prepared a project in order to reach individuals who cannot express themselves due to their illness and who cannot report their whereabouts when they go missing, in a short time without encountering negative situations.
Within the scope of the project, which was started to be implemented in the city, TDP and Crime Scene Investigation Branch teams visit the houses, take fingerprints of the disabled, and record their identity and medication information into the system.
It is aimed that disabled individuals registered in the system will be delivered to their families in a short time by reaching their home addresses from their fingerprints in case of loss.
“Had Positive Feedback”
Police officer Seda Köroğlu Kindar, who works at the Community Policing Branch Directorate, said that with the project, they are trying to prevent the victimization and problems that disadvantaged groups may experience.
Noting that they started the project based on their experiences and events, Kindar said: “We have seen that our disabled individuals who cannot express themselves and who are subject to special education have suffered various grievances, especially disappearance cases. That's why we developed such a project. Within the scope of our project, we visit the individuals we identify in their residences. We give information about our project to their guardians. As a result of the guardian's consent, we receive fingerprints and address information.
In case of loss of our individuals, we deliver them to their relatives as soon as possible, in a healthy and safe way, based on the registered fingerprints. We receive positive feedback about our project from relevant institutions, organizations and citizens. Thanks to this project, we found a child who disappeared a while ago and delivered him to his family as soon as possible.”
“A Good Work for Our Region”
Police officer Kübra Yücekaş, who works at the Crime Scene Investigation Branch, also stated that they recorded the fingerprints they took, together with their address information, in the database of the automatic finger and palm identification system.
Expressing that the project covers the whole province, Yücekaş said, “We give information about the project to the families we visit. We aim to take the fingerprints of approximately 1200 individuals. So far, we have received good reactions from our citizens on the subject. We think it is a good work for our region.” said.
Gurbet Temel, whose missing child was found by the police, realized that his child was not at home while he was working, and said, “I immediately called the security forces. Fortunately, they found it quickly. This is a very good project to find children without encountering any negativity. Thanks to everybody for their exertion." he said.
