Kerala Police to implement CCTNS soon

By Anshupriya Jha | 1 October 2011

The Kerala police will soon start work on implementing Crime and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS).

Six major information technology companies – NIIT, SFO Technologies Pvt Ltd, Tata Consultancy Services, Wipro, Rolta India, and HCL Infotech – have been shortlisted and invited by the government for giving technical presentations. Any one of these will eventually be entrusted with the job of developing the user interface of the CCTNS. The company will also need to integrate the existing IT network of the State police with the CCTNS.

Conceptualised by the Ministry of Home Affairs, CCTNS, a mission mode project (MMP) under the NeGP (National e-Governance Plan), aims at creating a nationwide networked infrastructure to link at least 14,000 police stations across the country. It will facilitate collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, transfer and sharing of data and information at the police station, among police stations and between a police station and the State Headquarters as well as the Central police organisations.

CCTNS will also create a national database of crime and biometric profiles of criminals which will be linked with similar databases of other agencies such as jials, courts, passport offices and forensic labs.

CCTNS will also have a citizen interface to provide citizen services. Citizens will be able to lodge complaints online and check for case details and its progress.

Once implemented, the CCTNS will help in investigation by expediting the process as it will be able to furnish real-time information and data as well as details about a criminal at the click of a mouse.
