NCRB approaches Raj Police for info on unique online system

"NCRB has sought information about our initiative. A detailed report will soon be forwarded to NCRB soon so that it can be incorporated in crime and criminal tracking network and systems at the national level," IPS officer Sharat Kaviraj, who is the brainchild behind the system, told PTI here.

The system developed by Rajasthan police gives updated information about standing warrantees (SWs), proclaimed offenders (POs) and absconders with options of name/police station/district/state wise searches and information sharing by public on state police website www.Police.Rajasthan.Gov.In, the SP-State Crime Records Bureau said.

"No such systemised/online information about warrantees, proclaimed offenders and absconders is available anywhere in the country except Rajasthan," Kaviraj said.

The key feature of the initiative is that it enables every police station of the state to get information about the anti-socials who are present in their jurisdiction irrespective of were cases has been lodged against them, he said.

"This system will surely help in reducing the number of standing warrantees, proclaimed offenders and absconder because police is omnipresent and sorted information is with all police stations," he said.

Traditionally, police stations have details of the SWs, POs and absconders only related to the cases lodged with it but after implementation of the new system, police stations now have a report containing a sorted list of the SWs, POs and absconders who are under their jurisdiction. (More)
