Warangal: Telangana is the first State in the country to have Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) integrated with the Crime and Criminals Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) project that facilitates transparency and speed in police service delivery.

The ICJS is aimed at integrating the CCTNS project with the e-courts, e-prisons, databases, forensics, prosecution, juvenile homes and a nationwide fingerprint data base of criminals. The integration will be achieved by providing access to the judiciary, police and prisons through a desktop dashboard to aid investigations expeditiously.

The system is likely to save a lot of time. The Ministry of Home Affairs had selected Telangana in the country to implement the project. And incidentally, Subedari Police Station in the Warangal Police Commissionerate has become the first to exchange live digital data with the Judiciary when the Supreme Court Judge Madan B Lokur, who is also the Chairman of ICJS and Judge-In-State eCommittee, launched it through video conference on Saturday.

The full-fledged implementation that includes e-prisons, databases, forensics, Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) and fingerprint data base of the criminals will soon be launched, it’s learnt. Speaking to The Hans India, Commissioner of Police V Ravinder said: “The ICJS allows pan-India search on complete National Crime and Criminal Database that is accessible to the Investigating Officers throughout the country. The search facility will also be available to the police in regional languages for improved inter-state tracking of criminal movement.”

Referring to the Subedari Police Station’s integration with the ICJS, he said that henceforth all the information pertaining to first information reports (FIRs), chargesheets, CC numbers, warrants, summons etc will be electronically communicated to the Court in real time.
