Crime & Criminal Tracking Network and Systems
To provide a seamless application to Police Department and Citizen's of Madhya Pradesh.
The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) was conceptualized by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in detailed consultation with all stakeholders (defined more precisely hereinafter), including the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), the State Governments, the Department of Information Technology (DIT), Government of India and the National Informatics Centre (NIC). It is envisioned to be implemented as a ‘Mission Mode Project (MMP)’ and will adopt the guidelines of the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP). Madhya Pradesh Police Department took the implementation of this program to a next level by surveying the Business & Functional Requirements, considering State Level Policing Practice and getting the system developed in compliance of State Laws and Best Practice.
CCTNS aims at creating a comprehensive and integrated system for enhancing the efficiency and effective policing at all levels and especially at the Police Station level through adoption of principles of e-Governance, and creation of a nationwide networked infrastructure for evolution of IT-enabled state-of-the-art tracking system for “investigation of crime and detection of criminals” in real time, which is a critical requirement in the context of the present day internal security scenario.
The key objective of the mobile application can be identified as
Providing services to policemen
The application envisions to create services that can be availed directly by the police personnel through the mobile application. This also implies that the police personnel would have access to the features/functionalities available in web application in real time manner; which means that the resolution to a case can be reached in an effective and timely manner. Internally the systems would enable the police personnel to register, investigate and prepare for prosecution of a case online, using minimal paperwork and dependency on traditional systems.
Increasing effectiveness of work
The application is envisioned to increase the operational efficiency by reducing redundancy in processes through their streamlining and standardization, increasing communication by providing access to and availability of additional communication modes such as police messaging, email, mobile telephony etc.
