Bihar Police to use AI tools for tracking liquor rackets
The Bihar Police will soon use Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology to arrest people involved in illegal liquor trade and other crimes. The AI mechanism will digitize and automate all operations, with the force no longer having to maintain data manually.
AI tools are expected to increase the efficiency of the force. The Bihar police has recently sent a proposal in this matter to the home department. The liquor prohibition law, implemented in April 2016, bans manufacture, sale, and consumption of liquor in the state.
A senior official said, “Once introduced, it will help policemen nab gangs or individuals involved in illegal liquor trade in the dry state. It will be easy to identify their area of operations with real-time analytics and automated processes.
Kamal Kishore Singh, the additional director general (ADG) of the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB), said, “From the perspective of crime handling and management, the AI tools will help in exploratory analysis. All documents, including criminal records, would be scanned and digitised, aiding the force on the ground. Also, predictive policing with AI tools will help the force speculate the types of crime that could occur in a particular area, and the likely perpetrators.”
Singh added that the Bihar Police is planning to take necessary measures for the creation of a dedicated information technology (IT) cadre within the force. “The proposed cadre will have around 2,000 officers and personnel, including IT inspectors and IT constables. Officials of the IT cadre will handle all operations of the AI system,” the ADG said.
