Technical Services Directorate comprises  Police Motor Transport Workshops, Police Computer Centre and Forensic Science Laboratories and State Crime Record Bureau. Since its inception in the year 1988, TS Hqrs. has made substantial progress in modernization and systematization of  units under its supervision.


1. Police Motor Transport

A process of Total Quality Management of all 5 workshops was completed by:

  • Technical Audit - analysis and rationalisation of spares with emphasis on repair as against replacement, and the optimal utilisation of machines

  • Accounting Audit - Review of accounting and billing on principles of zero-based budgeting, leading to significant reductions in spare part costs

  • Manpower Audit - Rationalising job descriptions and work evaluation on the basis of a Graded Point System.

  • Quality Audit - Ensuring highest standards of quality in repair and spare parts.

As a consequence of these efforts, there was a 160% increase in major repairs of HTVs ( 199 in 1998 vs 72 in 1999 ). The average repair time of HTVs was reduced from 195 to 106 days and LMVs from 73 to 40 days each. Increased throughout resulted in an average saving of Rs 60,000/- per HTV repaired. Cost reductions through systematic tendering and purchasing procedure led to an average cost cut of 10% over the previous year ( Rs 1.5 cr 1997-98 vs Rs 1.33 cr 1998-99).

2. UPPCC(Uttar Pradesh Police Computer Centre)

A Committee on Modernisation, with the ADG T/S as Chairman, formulated a comprehensive strategy on application of Information Technology to UP police. On the basis of these recommendations,  a comprehensive IT Plan was duly approved by the UP Govt.

      Through judicious expenditure planning which started during 1998-99, technological upgradation of the bulk of the hardware and software was effected without any increase in budget. By 2002, all the celeron based computers were upgraded to Pentium  based and more than 400  computers were installed all over U.P. Today, UP Police has over 1500 computers spread across its 72 districts, police stations and other units. UP Police personnel were provided with technical skill upgradation training to handle Windows based software. Training syllabi were revamped to include current GUI based software. A hands-on , one week training module was also devised for senior police officers. In a concerted drive to familiarise officers and staff with basic computer operation, more than 200 Gazetted officers including senior  IG rank officials along with nearly 7800 Non GOs of U.P. & other nearby States were made proficient in Windows/MS Office & other police management software, by 2002 and in the ongoing training endeavour, approx. 250 personnel are trained every year . Several new police specific application softwares were developed and the system of information dissemination was streamlined for better interface with user departments. This has led to wider use of application software. Appropriate training modules were developed for proposed computerisation and enhanced awareness.

An Implementation Strategy for computerisation and a Software Development Strategy for UP Police has been formulated for the accelerated absorption of IT initiatives for the Govt of UP.

Whats new in Computerisation in UP Police

CIPA- Common Integrated Police Application a project envisaged by Ministry of Home Affairs Govt of India is launched in every state under which all the police stations of India are on one application platform, in which from the registration to investigation of crime will be recorded with the help of computers. The work of placing the infrastructure in the first phase at the Police Station level is already started. The data so recorded is directly connected and stored in Crime Criminal Information System (CCIS) at the state server and NCRB server. Presently "Crime Criminal tracking and network system (CCTNS)" project is being implemented for full computerisation of Police working.

3. Forensic Science Laboratories

The functioning of FSLs has been streamlined, resulting in the scientific analysis of 30% more exhibits than required by BPR&D norms. A programme for the accreditation of laboratories as per DST norms has been launched. For the first time a comprehensive training strategy for scientists has been formulated and implemented. A plan for establishing field units from available resources and organising orientation training, is being implemented. ...
