TP has signed a Letter of Intent with the Singapore Police
Force “G” Division to collaborate on projects on crime
prevention and detection, with the aim of enhancing
security in the heartlands.
Under the agreement, the two parties will engage in joint
R&D, as well as share their operational expertise and
resources.
One of the projects being jointly undertaken is the “Mobile
Phone Tracking & Security System”. When a mobile
phone that has been loaded with the hidden software
detects a “foreign” SIM card, the user will be prompted
to key in a password. If a wrong password is entered, an
SMS with information of the phone’s IMEI (International
Mobile Equipment Identity), IMSI (International Mobile
Subscriber Identity) and the user’s current location,
will be automatically sent to the police. This effectively
renders a stolen mobile phone unusable and allows the
police to track down the thief.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lim
Kok Thai, commander of the Bedok
Police Division Headquarters, said: “We have been working with TP on
various projects, and we are pleased
to formalise our cooperation with TP
through this Letter of Intent.” |
