CCTNS - Crime and
Criminal Tracking Network System
The Crime
and Criminal Tracking Network System (CCTNS) project was initiated in 2009
as part of police modernisation programme under the national
e-governance project.
It was
conceived to bring all 16,000 police stations in India under a single network
to counter terror challenges.
The core objective of CCTNS is to connect all the police
stations so that any of the police stations can contact any other police
station; thereby facilitate collection, storage, retrieval, analysis and
transfer the information among police stations, state headquarters and central police
organizations.
