Wipro Infotech has developed an integrated Police Information System, an end-to-end online application software which covers activities related to the day-to-day functioning of police departments, including the back-end administrative processes of general administration, finance and stores. The processes have been automated to ease the tasks of administration and record keeping, thereby bringing in operational efficiency throughout the police department.

The application has been developed on a flexible software oriented architecture (SOA) that allows it to be used in both centralized and de-centralized deployment modes. This architecture enables each police station to function independently and at the same time allows for data to flow to the divisional and HQ levels at regular intervals, thereby achieving the benefits of a centralized system. The application also has a citizen interface through which complaints can be raised and the status of an already lodged FIR can be tracked. The user interface can display content both in English and the local language.

The application has several operational modules that will maintain records within the police stations and other police bodies pertaining to various activities of the police in areas of crime, law and order, wireless, traffic, intelligence and counter intelligence. Each module has the search function to retrieve relevant data. A standard-based information exchange gateway will make available the required crime and criminal information for access by other states. The information exchange will also retrieve the required information from other states, enabling a sharing of crime and criminal information across the country.

The application is currently in its pilot stage.
