SMS to Rail Police

In India, the railway police force is just an SMS away and the same approach would work in the United States.

We have technology in the US that would allow this. This is the same as texting a question to the call center and getting response back, as implemented and used by some of the internet retailers.

The Times of India reports anyone needing help during a train journey can send a SMS to a designated number and a government railway police constable will show up at their side!

The new system also will allow passengers inside trains and at railway stations to post complaints and request police assistance.
