Centre plans to launch criminal tracking system

CCTNS project to help crime investigation and information gathering

PTI | March 29, 2010



In a bid to help law enforcement agencies, the Centre has envisaged a system under the National e-governance plan that will enable them track criminals and disseminate information among various police organisations in the country.

The government has conceptualised the 'Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System' project, to enhance citizen services and outcomes in fields of crime investigation, information gathering and its dissemination, Union Home Minister P Chidambaram said while addressing the passing out parade of police recruits here Saturday.

Chidambaram said the states should modernise their police forces and intelligence services, augmenting their numerical strength and bringing about a positive qualitative change in their training orientation.

The Centre is providing ample funds for modernisation of police forces in the country, he said.

"As far as Central Police Organisations are concerned, we have not only added numerical strength to them but also brought about qualitative changes aimed at their operational efficiency," he said.

The law and order is basically a state subject, however, the Centre would continue to monitor the gaps in that regard, he said.

To augment the manpower resources of Haryana Police, the Ministry of Home Affairs has recently sanctioned four Indian Reserve Battalion to the state, the Home Minister said.

Chidambaram also released a coffee table book titled "1857 : India's War of Independence" during the event.
