One India State Has Bright Idea About Criminal Database

February 01, 2011 posted by Steve Brownstein

Uttar Pradesh Police will soon compile a comprehensive database on criminals to keep a check on crimes in the state, a senior government official has said.

The comprehensive database with profiles of each offender would provide instant access to information, State Additional Director General (Law and Order) Brij Lal said.

Addressing a press conference, Mr. Lal said the database would consist details such as names of offenders, methods of operation, property details, previous cases, police station jurisdiction in which the criminals resided, details of arrests and weapons used to commit the crimes.

The data, which would help in tracking suspects in the event of a crime, will also help in prevention of crimes, he said.

It will be stored in the crime records bureau of the state police wing, Mr. Lal said.
