The central government has introduced the Digital Police Portal to facilitate online requests for passport verification, cybercrime reporting, and background checks for domestic staff. This platform aims to build a comprehensive national repository of criminal records by unifying the CCTNS framework with judicial and prison databases.

Accessible at digitalpolice.gov.in, this portal is managed by the Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) initiative. Currently, 13,775 out of 16,671 police stations have been digitized, enabling full-scale electronic data entry.

This digital hub allows law enforcement and investigation agencies to perform queries and generate reports from the national criminal database. This resource assists state and central agencies in verifying records and inspecting information regarding suspected individuals.

Digital Police Portal - A Smart Policing Initiative

  • The Digital Police Portal serves as a platform for residents to submit crime complaints and request background verification for potential employees, tenants, or other personal requirements. You may also request a self-antecedent certificate.
  • The site grants authorized personnel access to the National Database of crime records for investigative purposes, policy formulation, research, and data analytics.
  • It consolidates historical and current crime data nationwide, including details on accused or convicted persons, stolen property, missing individuals, and unidentified bodies to expedite police investigations.
  • The system generates thematic reports on crime trends to assist in policy interventions. This includes tracking crime against women and children, societal patterns, or localized criminal activity.
  • To ensure privacy and national security, search access is restricted to authorized law enforcement officers. Background verification results for citizens are delivered via email.
  • The DIGITAL POLICE platform is a core component of the Ministry of Home Affairs' SMART Policing vision, designed to empower citizens and enhance police efficiency.
