Madam/Sir,
I am directed to draw your kind attention to the above mentioned advisories and SOP issued by Ministry of Home Affairs for strengthening capacity to deal with cases of Crimes against Women and to say that Department Related Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home affairs in its 233rd Report has given several recommendations on strengthening the mechanism for dealing with crimes against Women, specially SOPs on registration of FIRs including details on total Zero FIRs filed & disposed and training to Police Personnel on dealing with crimes against Women using BPR&D’s SOP.
2. The Standing Committee has also recommended that SOPs on registration of FIRs should include guidelines to Police to record reasons for delay in reporting of crime by the Complainants to the Police. It is stated that this field is provided in the CCTNS in IIF-1 (copy enclosed). The States/UTs may also widely circulate the BPR&D’s Handbook on “Women’s Safety & Security. A handbook for First Respondents and Investigators in the Police to all its personnel, as well as include them in the training modules.
3. In this context, attention is also invited to the use of Crime Analytics by Delhi Police in prevention of street crimes through crime mapping and Identification of hot spots for reinforced action. The Parliamentary Standing Committee has recommended that similar efforts may be taken in other metropolitan cities. In doing so , the Crime Mapping Analytics and Productive system (CMAP) and COGNOS BI tool deployed on CCTNS may be utilized. These have been made available to States/UTs by National Crime Records Bureau.
4. Considering that the Parliamentary Standing Committee has sought a Status Note on the above, it is requested that suitable direction may be issued for early commencement of action in the matter and continuous monitoring of the implementation at ground level may be undertaken regularly to calibrate the action.
