Haryana Police is moving towards making Artificial Intelligence (AI) a key component of policing, with an AI Task Force being constituted to strengthen cybercrime investigations, data analysis and citizen services.
An IPS-rank officer has been nominated as the AI Officer of Haryana Police and will head the Task Force. The initiative aims to promote the secure and practical use of AI to make policing smarter, faster and more effective.
Haryana Police is already developing AI-assisted digital solutions, including an in-house Grievance Management System and a Court Returns Portal, aimed at streamlining complaint handling, court-related information and data processing.
“Artificial Intelligence is not merely a new technology, but an important tool for strengthening policing in the future,” Singhal said, adding that AI would help personnel analyse large volumes of data, make better decisions and identify critical leads faster.
He stressed that AI would not replace human expertise and experience but would strengthen them. “Our endeavour is to provide investigating officers with technological capabilities that enable them to tackle cybercrime and emerging forms of crime more effectively,” he said.
Superintendent of Police, Cyber, Mayank Gupta said cybercrime investigations often involve huge volumes of digital data, banking transactions, mobile records and online activity, making manual analysis time-consuming.
To address this challenge, Haryana Police is working on AI-assisted Financial Trail Analysis, which will help investigators identify links between suspicious transactions, analyse patterns and trace the possible movement of funds.
AI-based preliminary analysis of large datasets is expected to save investigation time and allow officers to focus more on verifying leads, questioning suspects and other human-led investigative work.
The proposed AI Task Force will identify potential applications of AI in policing, implement technology-based solutions and enhance the technological skills of police personnel.
AI could eventually be used for data analytics, cybercrime investigations, digital evidence analysis, document processing and identifying crime patterns.
The Task Force will also focus on accuracy, transparency, data security and human oversight to ensure that technology adoption does not compromise the reliability and accountability of investigations.
The initiative marks Haryana Police’s shift towards data-driven and intelligence-led policing, with technology being positioned not merely as a support tool but as an important part of its strategy to tackle emerging forms of crime.
