UP police to deploy AI tool Crime GPT to catch criminals faster; Key things to know

In an attempt to bolster law enforcement capabilities, the Uttar Pradesh Police has adopted a new AI tool named Crime GPT, developed by a Gurugram-based startup Staqu Technologies.

The advanced tool is designed to enhance the police's ability to track down criminals by interfacing with a digitized database, allowing for precise searches based on specific details about individuals.

CEO Atul Rai said that Crime GPT aligns with Staqu Technologies's vision of establishing a robust security infrastructure powered by advanced technology.

How does CrimeGPT work?

Crime GPT leverages AI to analyze vast amounts of data, including CCTV footage, images, and audio, to assist in criminal investigations. It boasts features such as facial recognition, speaker identification, voice analysis, and criminal gang profiling.

This enables law enforcement officers to efficiently retrieve detailed information about suspects, including their criminal records, within a specified timeframe, through both written queries and voice commands.

The adoption of Crime GPT will revolutionize the way the Uttar Pradesh Police approaches crime investigation and suspect tracking.

The tool will provide rapid insights and streamlining the search process to expedite information retrieval, thereby accelerating case resolutions and improving security measures.

Prashant Kumar, the Director General of Police for Uttar Pradesh, praised the technology and emphasized the transformative potential of Crime GPT in enhancing the efficiency of ongoing criminal investigations.

Notably, The state Police and Staqu Technologies have worked together to create a digital archive containing over 900,000 criminal records.

The Crime GPT tool is a continuation of Staqu's earlier project, the Trinetra application, which was also aimed at identifying and tracking criminals.
