A mindmap image providing information about DNA and Face Matching Systems implemented by the Indian government. The image includes context, details about the Facial Recognition System, the Criminal Procedure Identification Act 2022 (CrPI), integration with NAFIS, the role of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), benefits, challenges, and information about NCRB itself.
Context: Mention of the implementation of DNA and Face Matching Systems by the Indian government, covering 1,300 police stations under the Criminal Procedure Identification Act 2022 (CrPI), which replaced the Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920.
Facial Recognition System: Explanation of the system's capability to identify individuals from images or videos. Usage in various states and regions, including Telangana, Punjab, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, and Delhi.
About CrPI: Information about the Criminal Procedure Identification Act passed in 2022, granting authority to police and central investigating agencies for data collection, including physical and biological samples, retina, and iris scans.
Integration: Details about the integration with the National Automated Fingerprint Identification System (NAFIS), managed by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), with data from over 1 crore people accessible at 1,300 police stations.
Nodal Agency: Mention of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) tasked with finalizing Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
Benefits: Highlighting the benefits of these systems, including boosting law enforcement efficiency, quickening criminal investigations, reducing crime, maintaining order, facilitating daily tasks, utilizing Big Data for crime trends, real-time smartphone access, enhancing public-police interaction, and offering digital services like online grievance submissions, as exemplified by Punjab Police's SAANJH.
Challenges: Mention of challenges, including data security gaps, rural-urban tech disparities, insufficient police reforms, budget constraints, and limited interagency tools.
About NCRB: Information about the National Crime Records Bureau, founded in 1986, headquartered in Delhi, functioning to collect and analyze crime data, and operating under the Ministry of Home Affairs.
