Enhancing efficiency and effectiveness in policing with the crime and criminal tracking network and systems (CCTNS)

Client

State Government in India

Primary goal

Focusing on upgrading and scaling the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network & Systems (CCTNS) to improve policing efficiency and effectiveness

Outcome

KPMG in India’s intervention led to significant advancements in the CCTNS project

The opportunity

The CCTNS, implemented as a ‘Mission Mode Project (MMP)’, aimed to create a integrated system to enhance policing at all levels, particularly at the police station level, through e-Governance principles. By 2010-11, the client recognised the need to scale up the project infrastructure and enhance the existing software to enable integration with multiple systems. KPMG India was engaged to facilitate this transition and ensure the project's successful execution.
