The Delhi Traffic Police plays a key role in solving criminal cases across the city, assisting other units, including the local police, in solving approximately 15 cases every month. This is made possible by the traffic unit's extensive network of over 300 cameras installed throughout the national capital, officials said on Thursday.

According to a senior police officer, requests for help in investigations frequently come from various units of the Delhi Police. "We have 209 red-light violation detection (RLVD) cameras and 125 over-speed violation detection (OSVD) cameras. Using this technology, our traffic personnel collaborate with the local police or other unit officials to support investigations," the officer said.
