Under the system, residents who plan to leave the city can inform the police by sending their house address, location pin and duration of absence via WhatsApp to the city police control room at 8277951146. Police officials have assured that the information shared will be kept strictly confidential and will be provided only to the concerned beat staff assigned for night duty.

As part of the initiative, night patrol staff will visit the locked houses at least twice between 1 am and 5 am, a period considered vulnerable to burglary incidents. The visits are intended to monitor the premises and deter theft attempts.
The new system has been introduced in the wake of a recent increase in theft and robbery cases in Belagavi district. Police have appealed to citizens to actively use the facility and cooperate in maintaining safety and security across the city.
