 NATIONAL CRIME RECORD BUREAU

National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) was set-up in 1986 to function as a repository of
information on crime and criminals so as to assist the investigators in linking crime to the
perpetrators based on the recommendations of the Tandon Committee, National Police
Commission (1977-1981) and the MHA’s Task force (1985).

Subsequently, NCRB was entrusted with the responsibility for monitoring, coordinating and
implementing the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) project in the year
2009. The project has connected 15000+ police stations and 6000 higher offices of police in the
country.

On 21st August 2017, NCRB launched National Digital Police Portal. It is a master police portal
which caters both to the citizens as well as to the police personnel. It allows police personnel to
search for a criminal / suspect on the CCTNS database, besides access to many other police utilities
like Cri-MAC, NDSO, CyTrain, etc. To citizens, it provides various services like filing of
complaints online and seeking antecedent verification of tenants, domestic helps, drivers etc., and
newly launched citizen services like, search for missing persons, NOC for purchase of secondhand
vehicle and information on Proclaimed Offenders.

The Bureau has also been entrusted to maintain National Database of Sexual Offenders (NDSO)
and share it with the States/UTs on regular basis. NCRB has also been designated as the Central
Nodal Agency to manage technical and operational functions of the ‘Online Cyber-Crime
Reporting Portal’ through which any citizen can lodge a complaint or upload a video clip as an
evidence of crime related to child pornography, rape/gang rape. NCRB has also launched CyTrain,
a portal for online training of different stakeholders in cybercrime investigations and prosecution.
NCRB also maintains Counterfeit Currency Information and Management System (FICN) and
Integrated Monitoring on Terrorism (IMoT) applications.

Cri-MAC (Crime – Multi Agency Centre) is yet another IT tool launched by NCRB this year as
per the recommendation of DGPs/IGPs Conference 2018, for sharing of information on Crime /
Criminals – sending alerts on Inter-State Criminals / Gangs to States/UTs, etc. and providing
email/sms based communication module for inter agency / unit co-ordination.

NCRB also compiles and publishes National Crime Statistics i.e. Crime in India, Accidental
Deaths & Suicides and also Prison Statistics. These publications serve as principal reference point
by policy makers, police, criminologists, researchers and media, both in India and abroad. NCRB
has been conferred with Silver award during Digital India Awards 2016 under Open Data
Championship category from the Government of India for uploading Crime Statistics since 1953
on Govt. Portal.

The Central Finger Print Bureau under NCRB is a national repository of all fingerprints in the
country and has more than one million ten-digit finger prints database of criminals both convicted
and arrested and provides for search facility on Fingerprint Analysis and Criminal Tracing System
(FACTS). Through the proposed NAFIS System to be commissioned by the year end, all States
will be able to upload and search finger prints directly to/from NCRB national database. This will
improve efficiency of fingerprint storage and search drastically and prove to be a game changer in
police investigations. Further, NCRB publishes ‘Finger Prints in India’ annually and organizes the
annual conference of Directors of Finger Print Bureaux of all the states to deliberate on topical
issues related to the use of fingerprint science in police investigations.
NCRB also assists various States in capacity building in the area of Information Technology,
CCTNS, Finger Prints, Network security and Digital Forensics through its training centers in
Delhi, Kolkata. It also assists four Regional Police Computer Training Centres (RPCTC) at
Hyderabad, Gandhi Nagar, Lucknow and Kolkata.

The Bureau has moved into its new office complex at Mahipalpur, which was inaugurated by the
Hon’ble Union Home Minister Shri Rajnath Singh on 8th September 2017.

Future road-map and action plan include:

1. CCTNS Phase II:

1. Linkages of Specialized Solutions like National Automated Fingerprint Identification

System (NAFIS) and Advanced Facial Recognition System (AFRS) in CCTNS.
Integration of CCTNS with other central databases, viz Vaahan & Saarthi of MoRTH,
Arms Licenses of MHA, Passport of MEA, IVFRT of GoI, MHA and Track Child of
MWCD.
2. Hardware Infrastructure upgrade for all PSs, HOs, NDC, SDCs, and DRCs.
3. Connecting all FIR Registering Units presently not covered under CCTNS project like
Excise, Forest, Transport, CBI, NCB, ED, NIA, RPF etc.
4. Robust Network Connectivity for Police Stations through BharatNet / NOFN or other
service providers
5. Application upgrade of CCTNS through faster search and user friendly interface

2. ICJS: To assist as a nodal agency in the operationalization of the Interoperable Criminal

Justice System (ICJS), a project being spearheaded by eCommittee of the honorable Supreme
Court for online exchange of data among various pillars of the criminal justice system.

3. Crime Data Analytics: For strategic planning & predictive policing.

4. Legal amendments like Identification of Prisoners Act, 1920, for empowering investigating
officers across the country to take advance biometrics from Arrested/Convicted persons.

(The Bureau has also started student internship programs for mutual benefit. It looks forward to
fostering of partnership with universities, researchers, NGOs and public.)
