Eluru SP Urges Police to Use AI for Faster Investigations
A police officer in Eluru wants police to use artificial intelligence, or AI, to work faster.
He spoke to police trainees at the Police Academy.
He showed them a tool called ‘Dharma.’
This tool could help people explain their complaints to the police.
AI would organize the information so police can use it more easily.
The tool may also reduce repeated paperwork for police officers.
The officer said solving a crime is not the only goal, because cases must also move through court.
He highlighted a system that tracks court work, witnesses, summons, warrants and prosecution needs.
Eluru district superintendent of police K. Prathap Siva Kishore urged police officials to use AI in investigations and other departmental work.
He presented ‘Dharma,’ an AI-assisted complaint kiosk designed to simplify how citizens lodge police complaints.
The kiosk is intended to help citizens describe grievances while structuring information for police use.
Kishore said AI could reduce repetitive tasks for police personnel and help meet stipulated timelines.
He highlighted a Court Monitoring Cell to track important cases through proceedings, witnesses, summons, warrants and prosecution requirements.
