The SP claimed that most of the features of the applications including alert sending are first of their kind in the country. 'RajCop' enables police to upload photo, video of the crime scene and instantly merge it with FIR as evidence in a proper and smart manner. "The user has instant access to the details of the owner of mobile number or a vehicle which helps them in taking prompt action while solving the crime," Ajay Data, CEO of the Data Infosys Limited, said. Data said the files uploaded through the applications will be accessible at police control room and police stations concerned and basic training for using the apps has been given. More than 1000 people and policemen have downloaded the applications which were launched by state Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot recently. Sanjay Malhotra, Commissioner of Department of IT and Communication informed that the project, aimed at increasing the efficiency and promptness for reporting the crime, was funded and supported by the state government. Kota Superintendent of Police Prafulla Kumar said he has asked SHOs to use the 'RajCop' in view of its usefulness. "With the help of 'RajCop', we can access the details at any point of time that will certainly help us in solving cases more efficiently," Kumar added.
