FROM COMMON INTEGRATED Police Application (CIPA) to Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS), to under-progress Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS), Madhya Pradesh has come a long way into integration of technology in its policing. The state has been one of the early adopters of CCTNS project and it is now embarking on overhauling the tech infrastructure with emerging technologies. In an interview with Mohd Ujaley, Purushottam Sharma, an IPS officer of 1986 batch of Madhya Pradesh cadre, currently posted as additional DGP (CP & PR) says, “Today, bringing technology is not a big challenge but data security is and we need to allay this fear from the minds of people by having robust data security policy and procedures in place”
​​​​​​​
What have been the notable technology projects in Madhya Pradesh Police?
The first project we started in Madhya Pradesh Police was Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS). During that period we had Common Integrated Police Application (CIPA) which was rolled out in Bhopal and other cities, but not fully implemented in the entire state. However, with the arrival of AFIS that time, we digitized three lakhs' data. Even today, for instance if National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has eight lakh people's fingerprint data, of that three lakh is from Madhya Pradesh. Following digitization of data, we started studying the complexity of the whole software. We improved the software and suggested to the Government of India, as a Chairman for the Benchmarking Committee, wherein I requested NCRB to circulate the software, enabling all the states to digitize fingerprint data. Fingerprint is the only way to identify criminals and track them throughout the country. I have also suggested to include IRIS data too, however, the law needs to be changed for that. This is one area which will certainly have an impact in the future, because it can track criminals within and outside the country.
Another project is Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS), wherein we have done wonderfully well. It has been rolled out and now we have FIRs filed on computer, but investigation models are in stabilization process.
