The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network Systems (CCTNS)  Project  has been launched recently and nearly 15015 police stations and 7000 higher offices including circles, disricts, sub-divisions , state headquarters, etc. throughout the country have been proposed to be automated.  This was stated by Jitendra Singh, minister of state in the ministry of home affairs in written reply in the Lok Sabha today.

The CCTNS Scheme is proposed to make the police functioning citizen friendly, transparent, accountable, effective and efficient by automating the processes and functions at the level of the Police Stations and other police offices at various levels. The scheme wii provide the Investigating Officers with the tools, technologies and information to facilitate faster and more accurate investigation of crime and detection of criminals.

It will lead to improvement in the police functioning in various other areas such as Law & Order, Traffic Management, curbing organized crimes, resource management etc.

The scheme will facilitate collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, transfer and sharing of data and Information among Police Stations, Districts, State headquarters and other organizations/agencies, including those at Government of India level.

The Government proposes to connect the police stations  through  a  comprehensive  network  using  various  modes like State Area Wide Network, Virtual Private Network over Broadband (VPNoBB), Multi Protocol Label Switching Virtual private Network (MPLS VPN), Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMax)/Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT)  as per feasibility

Under CCTNS Project, 2.5 lakh police personnel of States/UTs have been trained so far in basic I.T. awareness.  The process is still continuing.  The training on CCTNS software will commence after its roll out in States/UTs in the last week of December 2011. Under the project, Capacity building (Infrastructure) is also being created by way of setting up/ strengthening of Police Training Colleges, Regional Training Colleges, District Training Colleges for imparting training to police personnel.
