The Cubbon Park Police Station is abuzz with activities after it was selected to participate in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘e visit’. The station was selected since it is fully digitised under the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network Systems (CCTNS).
The CCTNS is not only about crime and investigation but also focuses on 21 citizen-centric services, including verification of all sorts, passport services, availing permission for programmes and functions.
Those who want to avail themselves of the services need not have to run around but can download the application from the city police website and apply through single window or through Bangalore-one centres from any part of the State.
Apart from this, the CCTNS also helps tracking the anti-social elements through digital prints through one of its state-of-the-art command centre that monitors cyber-related issues for the City Police, according to Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) Sandeep Patil.
As many as 20,000 police personnel across the State have been trained to handle the CCTNS while 5,000 police personnel have been trained to work on real-time such as crime and criminal tracking and network systems, he added.

Meanwhile, the City police are preparing for the live video conference with the Mr. Modi, who is expected to interact with the three police stations on their achievements. Director-General and Inspector General of Police Om Prakash, Chief Secretary Kaushik Mukherjee and Mr. Patil will be briefing Mr. Modi on the utilisation of technology in prevention and detection of crime.
