About Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) Project
Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) Project was conceived by the Ministry of Home Affairs in 2009 to link all police stations under a common application software for investigation, data analytics and citizen services. Since 2004, the Ministry was running a project called Common Integrated Police Application (CIPA) as part of the Modernisation of State Police Forces (MPF) that aimed at computerization of crime records in police stations on a stand-alone basis.
Realizing the need for a national database of crime records to help research and policy making, CCTNS was conceived. The total approved outlay of the project is Rs. 2000 crore. Under this project, the central government provides funds to states and UTs for hardware, CCTNS software, connectivity, system integration, data digitization, project management and manpower training. A national level portal "Digital Police Portal" is being launched as part of the project for states, central investigation agencies and citizens. They can access search and reports on national crime records as per their authorization.
About National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB)
National Crime Records Bureau, an attached office of the Ministry of Home Affairs, was set up in 1986 with a mandate to help Indian Police with information technology solutions and criminal intelligence to enforce the law well. The computerization of the police forces in India started in 1971. NCRB started CCIS in 1995, CIPA in 2004 and finally CCTNS in 2009. CCTNS connects about 15,373 police stations and 6,000 higher offices in the country.
CCTNS, once fully functional, will allow search for a criminal or suspect on a national database apart from providing various services to citizens through the citizen portal. In future, it is also proposed to connect police, courts, prosecution, prisons and forensic labs into an Interoperable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) for easy data exchange between the various pillars of the criminal justice system.
NCRB also compiles and publishes national crime statistics like Crime in India, Accidental Deaths and Suicides, Prison Statistics and Finger Prints. These publications serve as main reference points for policy makers, police, criminologists, researchers and media in India and abroad. NCRB has also floated various IT based public services like Vahan Samanvyay (online motor vehicle matching) and Talash (matching of missing persons and dead bodies). It also maintains the Counterfeit Currency Information and Management System (FCI) and Colour Portrait Building System (CBPS).
