Spiffing up the police
August 22, 2003

The Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and the Bureau of Police Research & Development (BPR&D) organised an exhibition-cum-seminar on Police Modernisation on August 21-22, 2003, at the Hotel Hyatt Regency, New Delhi.

At this event, CMC demonstrated the sophisticated software offerings it has created to aid the police force in its tasks. These included FACTS, the fingerprint analysis and criminal tracing system, and vCOPS, a versatile solution for automating police operations (see list on the right).

About 200 officers from the police and para-military forces visited the CMC stall, which lead to important business leads being generated.

Among the VIPs who visited the stall were several senior bureaucrats, including N Gopalaswami, home secretary, government of India, accompanied by Harminder Raj Singh, joint secretary, police modernisation, ministry of home affairs, and Ramavtar Yadav, director general, BPR&D and National Crime Records Bureau.

A paper on "IT for improved operational efficiency" was presented by GSN Prabhu, vice president, corporate business development, CMC. This being the first police-industry interaction at a national level, the event received an overwhelming response.

Some of the speakers who praised CMC's efforts in developing solutions based on indigenous technologies were Kamal Kumar (Andhra Pradesh Police), R Srinivasan (Oracle India) and Ramavtar Yadav.
