Applications	Description
NCRB-Abhigyan	It is a mobile application that enables field police personnel to search the National Fingerprint Database from any location using a certified fingerprint scanner for suspect identification. It enhances the efficiency and responsiveness of field policing by enabling instant fingerprint matching.
CrPI Application	The multi-modal biometric technology integrates facial recognition, iris matching, and DNA matching capabilities. It enhances the reliability of identification, reduces manual errors, and makes the process more transparent. Its primary applications include the identification of repeat offenders and CCTV-based suspect identification. So far, 2,190 CrPI units have been distributed, and more than 553,000 enrollments have been completed.
e-Forensics 2.0	It is a digital platform that connects forensic laboratories and investigating agencies across the country. Its key features include case receipt and digital tracking for forensic examination, sample registration, laboratory workflow management, report generation, digital access to reports, and strengthening of the chain of custody.
e-Prosecution 2.0	It is a digital platform that establishes digital coordination among the police, prosecution, and judicial processes. It ensures that once an offender is identified, timely prosecution and punishment can also be secured.
Uses of these applications	NAFIS and CrPI identify the offender, CCTNS and Cri-MAC connect and support the investigation, e-Forensics strengthens the evidence, and e-Prosecution drives the case towards conviction. Together, these four applications integrate policing, forensic investigation, prosecution management, and criminal identification into a seamless digital chain of the Integrated Criminal Justice System (ICJS). They will transform data into informed decision-making and fingerprints into justice.
