INDORE: Indore police are all set to become part of a nationwide online crime data network system, which would enable the people to lodge online complain and know its status. The online service will be launched on December 15 and the system will go operational from April 1 next year.
"The accessibility to important data is possible because of crime and criminal tracking network system (CCTNS)," said DG (NCRB) N K Tripathi, adding that it is the flagship programme of the Union home ministry and more than Rs 2,000 crore is being spent on it. About 14,000 police stations all over the country, and 6,000 senior police officials would be connected through the dedicated online system. The focus is on sharing information by police stations on crime and criminals across the country. "By April 1, we hope to go online," said the DG.
The NCRB has signed MoUs with the state and Union territories for implementation of the project. The state designated agencies would then bring to the district level, through their police station network.
Multi-layered connectivity is the main feature, which would start from police station to district police office to police range to state police headquarters and, finally NCRB at the Union government-level. To ensure effective working among various agencies of them police department, the CCNTS would also be horizontally connected with other external agencies related to the home ministry.
"Another important feature is citizens interface for basic service like tracking motor vehicles, details of arm licences, lists of criminals, information on missing persons, etc," Tripathi said, adding that the system would be useful in tracking crime because of the connectivity at state and central level. As regards intelligence sharing, the senior police officer said the system enables sharing of intelligence information with the IB and other sources.
The project is conceived by the Union home ministry as the Mission Mode Project under the national e-governance plan. Tripathi, who was to retire on August 31, has been given the extension for three months till the project gets final shape.
