For effective implementation and monitoring of the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System (CCTNS) and to achieve the target, one police station of each district would be selected as a Model Police Station.
DGP KB Singh has, accordingly, instructed all SPs and asked them to select an existing police station of their respective districts which can be revamped as a Model Police Station under the CCTNS project.
The CCTNS is a mission-mode project under the National e-Governance plan. This is the flagship IT project of the Indian Police integrating all critical components and aims to offer police services at the next level. It intends to create a national database and a citizen-centric portal for interface with the citizens. The Odisha Police are heading towards a stage of Go-live of CCTNS project. Most of the services provided by the Government in different departments are made available through internet. Accordingly, the Odisha Police have taken initiatives to provide police-related services over internet through a “Citizen Portal”.
As per current statistics, usage of core application software (CAS) and utilisation of the online services are not up to the optimum. Officers in the police stations are not generating IIF-I to IIF-XI using CAS, for which the initiative for a robust database is delayed. So, the services under Citizen Portal are pending with different police stations and districts. To rectify these defects and ensure 100-per cent implementation of CCTNS-related activities, the DGP has categorically instructed all SPs to select an existing police station in their respective districts as a Model Police Station.
