Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde has launched the pilot phase of Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and System in New Delhi.

The Crime and Criminal Tracking Network and Systems (CCTNS) aims at creation of a nation-wide networking infrastructure for evolution of IT-enabled sophisticated tracking system around 'investigation of crime and detection of criminals'. It will help in effective policing and sharing data of crimes and criminals among 14,000 police stations across the country

The Rs 2,000 crore project, approved in 2009, spans across all the 35 states and Union Territories.

It will bring more transparency in police administration as a person can lodge complaint on-line and get a status report of the complaint on-line too. 

The broad objectives of the CCTNS project are streamlining investigation and prosecution processes, strengthening of intelligence gathering machinery, improved public delivery system and citizen-friendly interface, nationwide sharing of information across on crime and criminals and improving efficiency and effectiveness of police functioning. It will also: 

a) Facilitate collection, storage, retrieval, analysis, transfer and sharing of data and Information among Police Stations, District, State headquarters and other organization/agencies, including those at Government of India level. 
b) Help in enabling and assisting the senior Police Officers in better management of Police Force
c) Keeping track of the progress of the crime and criminal investigation and prosecution Cases, including progress of cases in the court
