Hyderabad Commissioner P. Mahendar Reddy on Tuesday launched Enterprise e-Cops, a software which would help in crime investigation and detection of criminals, at Amberpet police station. It is part of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Networking and Systems (CCTNS) project launched by the Union government to connect all police stations in the country.
Mr. Reddy said that Enterprise e-Cops project would provide efficient service delivery to the citizen and at the same time help minimise crime. “There are different modules in the system which will help streamline the administration of the Police Department. At the same time, it will help in maintaining a database of criminals and their modus-operandi which will help solve complex cases within short period of time,” he said.
The database of criminals would include their modus operandi, past criminal record, habits, associates and videos evidence against them. Every time a suspect or a criminal is caught, an official at the police station would feed all relevant details into the system. Police officials at other police station can access it to crack cases,” Mr. Reddy explained.
The police are also banking on it to help bring transparency in the functioning of the police stations.
Senior police officials can monitor and instruct their subordinates on various issues. Also, the complainants will be given an ID and password to monitor the status of his grievance.

In Telangana, the project is being implemented in Hyderabad, Ranga Reddy and Warangal districts at a cost of Rs.108 crore. An amount of Rs. 2,000 crore is being earmarked for the project by the Union government for 14,000 police stations and 6,000 higher offices across the country, he said.
