“We feel extremely privileged that the government has chosen to partner with Wipro for the CCTNS project which is of crucial importance to homeland security. We will leverage our domain expertise and best practices to build the core application software for CCTNS for effective and efficient policing through adoption of principals of e-governance,” stated Anand Sankaran, senior vice president and business head, India, Middle East and Africa, Wipro.
The CCTNS will span across all 35 states and union territories and electronically link over 14,000 police stations and 6,000 higher police offices across the country. The project includes vertical connectivity of police units (linking police units at various levels within the state and between states and union territories) as well as horizontal connectivity (linking police functions at state and central levels to external entities). CCTNS will also present a citizen-interface to provide basic services to citizens.
Being developed on multiple technology platforms, the application will link the State Crime Records Bureau with the National Crime Record Bureau, thereby creating a database that can be accessed in real-time from any police station across the country. According to Wipro, the solution is expected to greatly enhance police efficiency in the detection and prevention of crimes.
