2. 1 ANALYTICS & INFORMATION SYSTEM
Analytics & Information Systems hold a very vital position in the digital policing world. With India being the second
most populated country in the world law enforcement agencies are always burdened with multiple cases and tons of
paperwork which results in delayed response to any situation which demands quick action.
With the onset of new technologies, such as – Big Data Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, Facial Recognition, Machine
Learning etc., India has adopted multiple Analytics & Information Systems to assist the law enforcement agencies
in collecting data , in creating data repositories which are helpful as databases and in developing analytical reports.
These systems enable law enforcement agencies to act swiftly and perform efficiently to increase public safety and to
reduce crime rate across India. These systems not only support the law enforcers, but they also enable the citizens to
be a part by providing online availability of multiple services, which involves a law enforcement agency for applications,
registration, searches, licensing among various others.

2. 5 CYBER SECURITY & FORENSICS
Crime has been transforming itself to match the technological development happening across the globe. Since the
invention of computers & internet, crime has evolved from its physical version to a digital one. Introduction of IT Act in
India in 2000, amended in 2008, was the turning point where Government of India stated focusing on the digital side of
crimes i.e. Cyber Crime.
Indian Police has been constantly fighting cyber crime and has taken up multiple initiatives (Cyber crime labs, response
centers, cyber forensic labs etc.) to do the same. As per the data from Ministry of Home Affairs, in 2016 cyber crimes
saw a rise of 457% as compared to the year 2011. To counter it, State government and State police are constantly
developing new anti-cyber crime measures with the help of central government and private organizations. Other than
these initiatives, training and development of Police officers in the field of identifying and solving cyber crimes has been
made imperative to keep the police updated about latest criminal activity and the methods required to tackle it.

e-kiosks, mobile command centers and many more. Special services for elderly, women and children have been
deployed by various state police departments which helps them to tackle criminals who pry on them.
Public interaction of police has always been a topic of debate. Introduction of technology in this segment will allow
the police department to easily register complaints, gather real time intel on situation (Dial100), reduce interaction time
(increased response time) and access to remote locations. These public interaction systems will also benefit policemen
as they would be free to do the policing work, while the complaint will be registered by the citizens themselves.

4 Recommendations
There is a huge difference in the way policing worked 10 years ago and how it works now. The integration of new
technologies in old school policing has uplifted the policing methods and solutions. Taking into account the population
and geography of India, implementation of multiple digital policing solutions is a must. The Government bodies (Central
& state) and various law enforcement agencies have already implemented or started implementing various digital or
smart policing solution with the help of private organizations in order to fight the rising crime and to provide customized
services to different aspects of society.
Owing to the technology trends, crime has evolved itself in order to take advantage of it. From 2011 to 2016, cyber
crime incidents skyrocketed by 457% in India only. Other major crimes like kidnapping, abduction, rape, theft,
burglary, robbery, arson, fraud etc. also saw a considerable increase.
TECHNOLOGY INTEGRATION
Using latest technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Big Data Analytics, Facial Recognition, Iot etc., to identify
and catch suspects/criminals, has gained much awareness among various law enforcement agencies. However, the
implementation of these technologies is not on a national levelbut on a state level, which makes it very important for the
central government to fund and support state level law enforcement agencies to utilize technologies to upgrade their
policing methods.
Criminal ID/Tracking Facial Recognition & Video Continuous live tracking &
Surveillance and Monitoring monitoring
Public Interaction Body Worn Cameras, Dash Live video feed of the scene
Cameras
CYBER CRIME
Cyberspace has innumerable entry points which makes it hard to tackle its inherent vulnerabilities. Between 2012-17,
the number of internet users grew at a CAGR of 44% which has led India to be placed 3rd in terms of number of
internet users in the world after USA and China. With user growth comes increased instances of cyber crime. Symantec
Corp ranked India among top 5 countries to be affected by cyber crime.
Government of India & multiple law enforcement agencies have taken lead in curbing growing cyber crime. In addition
to establishing cyber labs and training the officers, additional development in terms of detecting and resolving cyber
crime has to be added in the current arsenal of the law enforcers.
Increasing population and threat of crime require spreading awareness among the citizens while providing them easy
access to law enforcement agencies. This will support in easily report incidents and to provide a swift response to
any problems or crime being faced by the public across the country. It will also help in building trust and collaboration
between the citizens and the police.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT
India is the 3rd largest car market in Asia-pacific region. In 2016, there were approximately 230 million registered
automobiles and 51,300 Traffic Policeman, that is, 1 policeman for managing 4,484 automobiles. Urban population
in India is facing multiple issues like: traffic jams, signal jumping, improper parking, over speeding and many others.
To curb these issues and to maintain order on road traffic police departments all around India are introducing multiple
solutions like surveillance, traffic sentinel, community policing via mobile application or web-based reporting, to manage
the on road traffic.
