POLICE STATIONS CONNECTED WITH CCTNS
- CCTNS (Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems) is a pan-India Mission Mode Project under the National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) that digitises core police functions (FIR, investigation, charge-sheet, court disposal) and links every police station to a national crime/criminal database.
- Implemented by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) through the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB); relevant for GS-II (e-governance, citizen services) and GS-III (internal security, technology).
- Acts as the police pillar of the Inter-operable Criminal Justice System (ICJS) linking Police–Courts–Prisons–Forensics–Prosecution.
