Punjab Police will use modern AI tools to crack down on gangsters, partnering with IIT Ropar

Bhagwant Mann government has taken an important step towards implementing Artificial Intelligence based policing system by partnering with Indian Institute of Technology Ropar to further intensify its crackdown on organized crime. The objective of this initiative is to create a structured database of criminals and strengthen campaigns like ‘Gangstran Te War’ and ‘Yudh Nashean Viruddh’ to dismantle the gangster networks operating in Punjab and outside the state.

will coordinate between various stakeholders

Under this collaboration, the state government in collaboration with IIT Ropar will use AI tools; With this, Punjab Police will be able to effectively map and target the network of criminals. For this project Dr. B.R. An MoU has been signed between Ambedkar State Institute of Medical Sciences and IIT Ropar. While the data intelligence and technical support unit set up at AIIMS Mohali will coordinate among various stakeholders to take the project forward.

Action can also be taken against gangster networks

Under this partnership, IIT Ropar will develop advanced software; Which will have features like data analytics, voice recognition technology and dashboard-based monitoring. This will make real-time tracking and intelligence-based policing possible, through which action can also be taken against gangster networks operating from foreign countries.

Will enable creation of integrated criminal database

This initiative will enable Punjab Police to create a comprehensive and integrated criminal database, linking both structured and unstructured data. In this, scanned PDF and handwritten records will be digitized and made available on a single platform, so that fragmented information can be accessed immediately.

Decision making process faster and more effective

Bhagwant Mann Government and IIT Ropar will jointly provide technical support for tracking and analysis; converting scattered data into useful information through AI tools, predictive models and analytical dashboards. This will make the decision making process faster and more effective.

A large portion of police records are in unstructured form

Highlighting the importance of data in modern policing, the state government said that while structured data is easier to analyze; A large portion of police records are in unstructured form, such as handwritten reports and scanned documents. Due to their lack of integration, the investigation process slows down. This project addresses this challenge by transforming unstructured records and integrating them into an integrated system with existing datasets, significantly increasing the efficiency of investigations.
