C O P S T O D A Y International coming up with new shape and v i s i o n , i s h i g h ly acclamined by differ-ent sects of the society and all over the world. I n t e r n a t i o n a l l y reputed Criminologist of Canada, Mr. John Winterdyke has contributed an article in this issue on acute gateway role of police in the criminal justice system. News from different spheres of police activities will surely enhance the knowledge of latest scientific development in police modernisation. Foundation for Police Research (FPR) feels that propensity of criminals and terrorism to cross national borders-to engage in "transnational crime"- is certainly not a new phenomenon; it is probably as old as the borders them-selves. Borders were established to delineate the jurisdiction claimed by each state, and crossing national borders has often provided criminals with a way to mitigate or avoid the consequences of illegal acts. Yet in spite of a long, eventful history, there is strong evidence that transnational crime and terrorist activi-ties have become more prevalent and ser ious today than ever be fore . Foundation for Police Research (FPR) is going to organise next gala event of Police Expo and Conference in the month of July, 2019 at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. Theme of the conference is the

“Our courage and success is our reader and wellwisher”

In the next couple of months, the Kerala Police will go fully digital in storing, r e t r i e v i n g a n d processing all case files and investiga-tion reports. For the Police Information T e c h n o l o g y ( I T ) wing is working on a s t a t e - o f - t h e - a r t D o c u m e n t M a n a g e m e n t System (DMS) to ensure no police record goes missing. The system will also enable any docu-ment to be retrieved at the touch of a button.DMS will have two key components – K n o w l e d g e M a n a g e m e n t System (KMS) and L e a r n i n g M a n a g e m e n t S y s t e m ( L M S ) - enabling access to police records on sensational cases for training purposes and also to help

police officers refer v a r i o u s r e p o r t s d u r i n g investigation.Senior o f fi c e r s s a y t h e Kerala Police have huge records on cases cracked using various investiga-t i v e skills.“Searching for related reports for reference is cumber-some. Many a time, the records could not be found. A lack of p r o p e r fi l i n g o f records has resulted in a mess,” an officer said.W i t h D M S , a l l documents will be stored digitally and can be accessed by officers for reference. K e r a l a I T w i n g

Superintendent J Jayanath said, once the DMS is in place, there wi l l be no scope for files going m i s s i n g . “ P o l i c e records can be used even for training purposes as DMS will be linked to KMS and LMS,” the officer sa id .“The d e p a r t m e n t i s continually looking for ways to be more efficient and will review the utility aspect of DMS, LMS and KMS. Through D M S , w e w i l l explore opportuni-t i e s t o e n h a n c e record management, bring in new fea-tures to improve u s a b i l i t y a n d t o

2 JULY COPS TODAY INTERNATIONAL

Use Modern Technology To Check Crimes: Cm To Cops

Kerala Police should value knowledge effectively: CM Pinarayi Vijayan

C h i e f M i n i s t e r N Chandrabab Naidu said police officials should use modern technology to prevent crimes and strive hard to reduce criminal attitude among people. He interacted with 652 newly trained Sub-Inspectors at the Grievance Hall near his r e s i d e n c e o n Wednesday.

Chandrababu Naidu said police should work with commitment to e s t a b l i s h p e a c e f u l atmosphere in the State. He said the State will be able to attract invest-ments under peaceful environment.

The Chief Minister said the police should gear up to face new chal-

lenges in curbing crimes a s c r i m i n a l s w e r e misusing technology for their benefit. He said 20,000 CCTV cameras would be set up in the State and police should use them to prevent crimes.

Apart from CCTVs, police should use the Internet of Things (IoT), d r o n e s a n d m o b i l e control rooms to check crimes, he said. Among the new Sub-Inspectors, 42 per cent are B.Tech

graduates, 3 per cent M.Tech graduates, 20 per cent post graduates and 35 per cent gradu-ates.

Among them, 342 were trained as civil SIs, 108 Armed Reserve SIs, 11 Railway Sub-Inspectors and 141 women SIs. At the same time, 5,250 candidates completed constable training. All of them belonged to the 2017 batch.

Expressing happiness over recruitment of

h i g h l y q u a l i fi e d c a n d i d a t e s a s S u b -Inspectors, the Chief Minister expressed hope that policing would be strengthened further.

Referring to the political developments followed by the Dachepalli minor girl rape incident, he said that the opposition YSRCP tried to gain political mileage by p o l i t i c i s i n g i t . H e appreciated the police department in handling the case efficiently.

Investigation, forensic evidence, documentary evidence are important for crime detection and d e t e n t i o n , h e s a i d . N a i d u e x p r e s s e d concern over increasing cases of women traffick-

ing, domestic violence and crime against minor girls.

He felt technology and porn films are among the factors contributing to growth in crimes against women. The Chie f Minis ter was r e s p o n d i n g t o t h e reports of India being the country which is most dangerous for women.

DGP M Malakondaiah, H o m e D e p a r t m e n t Pr inc ipa l Secre tary Anuradha, Vijayawada Commissioner of Police G a u t a m S a w a n g , Intelligence Additional DGP AB Venkateswara Rao and others were present.

The The Kerala Police s h o u l d l e a r n m o r e t e c h n i q u e s , l i k e e -learning, and adopt other technologies to turn into an effective force, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said here on Wednesday. He was inaugurating the o n e - d a y N a t i o n a l W o r k s h o p o n K n o w l e d g e Management Strategies in Police at the Police Training College. A state of-the-art audito-rium was also inaugu-rated on the campus.

“Today, we are living in a knowledge society. So we need to be able to value the knowledge more effectively. More technologies should be taught to the police. The government is particu-lar that the police, as a w h o l e , s h o u l d b e modernised,” Pinarayi

said. While the Kerala Police personnel were well-qualified in terms of education, he said, they should think about ways to turn it into an asset to the department and in decision-making. The Chief Minister also hailed the achievements of the state police.

“The Kerala Police has always been on the forefront of implement-ing several people-f r i e n d l y p r o j e c t s , including Janamaithri policing. Social policing projects like the Student Police Cadet Project r e c e i v e d n a t i o n a l recognition. Besides, the

child-friendly police stations in the state are also a recent achievement,” he said.

ADGP (Train-ing) B Sandhya,

in her pres ident ia l address, said a work-shop on knowledge management strategies w i l l t r a n s f o r m t h e intellectual part of the K e r a l a P o l i c e . “Janamaithri policing being implemented in the Kerala Police has helped bridge the gap between the police and the public. A paradigm shift in policing is taking place in terms of the integration of technol-ogy,” she said. ADGP S Ananthakrishnan and D I G ( c r i m e s ) K Sethuraman also spoke on the occasion.

Meghalaya police have i n t r o d u c e d a n e w software to monitor social media 24x7, while another arrest has been made in relation to the cases filed against those who allegedly posted inammatory messages d u r i n g t h e r e c e n t clashes here.

The police have also taken help from various central government agencies and depart-ments as wel l as a technological institute in New Delhi to aug-ment the capabilities of the cyber crime wing, M e g h a l a y a s p e c i a l s u p e r i n t e n d e n t o f police (CID) R. Muthu said on Monday.

"Social media platforms l i k e G o o g l e a n d Facebook have posi-tively responded to the requests of the cyber cr ime wing to give information about those

who have been putting instigating contents on social media and proper legal instruments are being used to obtain such information," he said.

Following last month's disturbances in the state capital, the cyber crime wing had started legal a c t i o n a s p e r t h e p r o v i s i o n s o f t h e I n f o r m a t i o n Technology Act, 2000he I n f o r m a t i o n Technology (Amend-ment) Act, 2008, and the IPC in various cases.

While 11 cases have been registered for offensive, inammatory and derogatory remarks on social media, two persons were arrested.

The officer said some of the 11 cases have their roots outside the state, and efforts are on to identify the culprits.

Software Aid For Police

3 JULY COPS TODAY INTERNATIONAL

Technology helps Chinese regulators detect suspicious financial activity

After a trading company launched an online peer-to-peer lending plat-form with an advertised daily interest rate of 8 percent, it was immedi-a t e l y d e t e c t e d b y financial regulators in south China's Shenzhen City.

Within three days, they h a n d e d o v e r t h e suspected fraud case to the police.

T h a n k s t o n e w l y -d e v e l o p e d s y s t e m s empowered by the latest technologies, financial regulators in Shenzhen are now well-equipped to monitor and detect suspicious financial activities, especially those conducted online.

Lingkun, the latest of the systems, was put into operation Monday. It

was jointly developed by Shenzhen's munici-pal government and Internet giant Tencent.

Use technology such as b i g d a t a , a r t i fi c i a l intelligence and knowl-edge graphs, the system can access government databases and detect financial risks in more than 10 areas, including I n t e r n e t fi n a n c e , investment, and foreign exchange trading.

During its trial opera-tion, Lingkun proved to

be a powerful tool for r e g u l a t o r s . A f t e r scanning activities of 11,000 finance compa-nies, it issued more than 60 high-risk alerts to regulators in 10 provin-cial-level localities.

Financial regulators in Shenzhen said the new systems focused on financial activities that involved exceptionally h i g h p r o fi t r a t e s , a t y p i c a l g r o w t h i n transactions and overly-complicatedly business relations.

"The higher the profit r a t e o r n u m b e r o f investors a financial product has, the higher the level of alert the system will issue," said He Xiaojun, director of the finance service office of the Shenzhen govern-

ment.

H e a d d e d t h a t t h e system could also help regulators find out the inter-relations between participants in financial activities, enabling them to track capital ow and pinpoint the key figures in question.

" S o m e fi n a n c i a l act ivi t ies can be as complicated as involv-ing 70 business rela-tions, but the system can still swiftly figure out their relationship and identify the key play-ers," He said.

In recent years, as more C h i n e s e c o m p a n i e s e m b a r k o n o n l i n e financial innovation, cases of illegal financial activities have been on the rise.

"Technology can play a big part in fending off financial risks, which is the priority for local financial regulators," said Zeng Guang, head of Shenzhen's Internet finance association.

Chinese authori t ies h a v e t a k e n s t r i c t e r measures to regulate the financial sector, as the country lists preventing risks as one of the "three tough battles" it aims to win in the next three years.

In a prominent move, regulators ordered a ban last September on Initial Coin Offerings, calling the activity "unautho-rized and illegal public fundraising." Later, they shut down all virtual currency exchanges in the country.

Gajwel and Husnabad Revenue Divisions In-Charge ACP Mahendar held a review meeting on the pending cases at the police stations under the limits of Gajwel division on Wednesday at Gajwel Rural Circle office at Gauraram police station.

The officer inspected the records and quantum of the registered cases in the area and ordered the police officers for speedy resolving of the cases pertaining to property, crimes by using CCTV f o o t a g e a n d l a t e s t technology without any pendency with constant oversight. Intelligence meet ings should be conducted with court duty officials and village police officials every month with fail, said the ACP.

i m p l e m e n t a t i o n o f Japanese management technique, 5S that stands for Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise and Sustain to bring in more efficiency in resolving the pending cases with up to date records while maintaining the SOP- standardised operating procedure. The police stations in the Division should be kept clean with s a n i t a t i o n w i t h t h e separate allotment of lots for se ized veh ic les , properties and others by allotting duties to the personnel.

The department person-nel should strive for u n i f o r m e d s e r v i c e delivery to the people with friendly policing to establish a strong trust of people in the depart-ment. The meeting was attended by Gajwel CI Prasad, Rural CI Shiva Lingam, Thoguta CI N i r a n j a n , a n d s u n Inspectors of gajwel, Jagadevpur, Mulugu, Markook, Gauraram, K u k u n o o r p a l l y , Doulthabad, Thoguta, Rayapol and Begumpet stations.

Artificial Intelligence-p o w e r e d f a c i a l recognition technol-ogy will soon become a part of the Standard L a w E n f o r c e m e n t toolkit of the Kerala P o l i c e . T h e d e p a r t m e n t ' s cyber research facility, C y b e r d o m e , h a s developed AI algo-rithms that will help l o c a l p o l i c e s c a n hundreds of hours of video footage and hunt for a particular object or person. For example, “a person wearing black hat” or “number of yellow cars” on the road, over a certain time win-d o w . The technology can identify actions and

can classify them as a fi g h t , a c c i d e n t o r crowd gathering. It can also trace objects and people in a video. This project is under the vigilance of State Police Chief Loknath Behera and IG Manoj A b r a h a m . Earlier, after getting the required informa-tion from the victim, the police force used to search for a certain o b j e c t o r p e r s o n manually, to solve the case or find a missing person. The whole process was and is e x c e e d i n g l y t i m e consuming. However, the new technology is equipped to do the same 'search' quicker and more accurately.

Exhibition Profile

With India marking Kargil Vijay Diwas on Thursday, Union home minister Rajnath Singh said security forces are developing non-lethal w e a p o n s a n d emphasised the use of drone technology to overcome challenges.

T h e h o m e m i n i s t e r stressed on the need for m o d e r n e q u i p m e n t adding that “the BPR&D ( B u r e a u o f P o l i c e R e s e a r c h a n d D e v e l o p m e n t ) h a s worked on developing non- lethal weapons. A l o n g s i d e , d r o n e technology needs to be used,” the minister said.

S p e a k i n g a t t h e Superintendents of Police Conference conducted by the BPR&D, Singh said, “The police forces have handled several complex crimes and should be given modern equipment and weapons.”

In the same vein, Singh highlighted the challenge that security forces in

K a s h m i r a n d Chhattisgarh battling terrorism and left-wing extremism had to brave.

In October 2017, the home ministry had set t h e b a l l r o l l i n g o n indigenously manufac-turing weapons follow-ing the liberalisation of the Arms Rules that had p a v e d t h e w a y f o r increased investment in the manufacturing of arms and ammunition and weapon systems as part of the “Make in India” programme.

“The liberalised rules are expected to encourage t h e m a n u f a c t u r i n g activity and facilitate availability of world class weapons to meet the requirement of armed

and police forces in sync with country’s d e f e n c e i n d i g e n i z a t i o n programme,” the U n i o n h o m e ministry said.

The ministry also a d d e d t h a t t h e liberalised rules

will apply to licenses granted by MHA for small arms and ammuni-tion and licenses granted by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP), “for t a n k s a n d o t h e r a r m o u r e d fi g h t i n g v e h i c l e s , d e f e n c e aircrafts, space crafts, warships of all kinds, arms and ammunition a n d a l l i e d i t e m s o f defence equipment other than small arms.”

Following the Mumbai t e r r o r a t t a c k s o f 2 6 November 2008 , the h o m e m i n i s t r y h a d i n i t i a t e d e f f o r t s t o improve security along the country’s 7,000 km coastline.

100 police stations to be made

One-hundred police stations across the state will be converted into smart stations, said S t a t e P o l i c e C h i e f L o k n a t h B e h e r a . Addressing the crime r e v i e w c o n f e r e n c e , attended by al l IPS officers involved in policing duties, he said `5 lakh has been sanc-tioned to ADGPs (SCRB, training and headquar-t e r s ) a n d T h r i s s u r district police chief to deve lop a work ing model of a smart station. O n c e s u c c e s s f u l l y i m p l e m e n t e d , t h e project will be extended to other districts.

The key feature is that technically qualified o f fi c e r s w i l l b e appointed in smart stations and they will oversee the machines and technology being used in those stations so that better service could be provided to the

public. He said senior officers should visit the stations frequently and give directions to the officers there.

In the wake o f the allegations that certain officers were misusing orderlies, it has been decided to curtail the deployment of police personne l on work arrangement. It has been decided that work arrangement will be allowed only to meet the required strength of particular department. T h e m e e t i n g a l s o assessed that political murders have come down and there were no c o m m u n a l c l a s h e s reported in 2018. “But t h e r e h a v e b e e n a t t e m p t s t o c r e a t e communal polarisation a n d p o l i c e s h o u l d m a i n t a i n c a u t i o n against such moves,” Behera told the meeting.
