Jaipur, Jan. 9 -- Chief minister Bhajan Lal Sharma on Thursday stressed the need to extensively use technology and artificial intelligence for analysing intelligence inputs to strengthen policing and curb organised crime effectively. Addressing the state-level police conference - 'Policing in a Developed India' at the Rajasthan Police Academy - he said a robust law and order system plays a decisive role in achieving the goal of a developed India. Sharma said Rajasthan's law and order situation has improved significantly over the past two years, with a 15% overall reduction in crime, a 25% fall in murder cases, and a 50% decline in robberies compared to 2023. "Modern technology and AI must be used for effective intelligence analysis and to strengthen policing and curb organised crime effectively," Sharma said. He highlighted the importance of ongoing police training and directed all officers to devote at least 100 hours a year to training their juniors. He further instructed officers with more than ten years of service to adopt one police station each to strengthen grassroots policing. Reiterating the government's commitment to tackling organised crime, Sharma said continuous efforts were being made to eliminate it. He directed the police to monitor social media platforms, particularly posts glorifying or supporting gangsters, and ensure close supervision and counselling of such individuals. Stressing zero tolerance towards drugs, he called for decisive action to eradicate drug abuse and narcotics trafficking from the state. The chief minister also lauded the Rajasthan Police for its action against cybercrime, noting that swift response to digital arrest frauds and online cheating is vital to maintaining public trust. "Ensuring citizens' confidence in law enforcement is a collective responsibility," he said. Sharma commended the Rajasthan Police Academy for earning national recognition in police training. He expressed satisfaction that the academy had been declared an 'Excellent Institution' by the Capacity Building Commission of the Government of India - the first police training academy in the country to receive this distinction. He also outlined initiatives to strengthen policing infrastructure, including the creation of a Rs.200 crore fund for police modernisation and the establishment of the Sardar Patel Centre for Cyber Control Room and the Rajasthan Police Technical Training Academy at a cost of Rs.350 crore. During the event, the chief minister inaugurated the e-Visitors Portal, launched the e-Zero FIR system, and released the Rajasthan Police Priority-2026 booklet....
