Shri Kishore Jha, an IPS officer is currently in charge Director General
of Police Tripura. Shri Kishore Jha, IPS belongs to the 1982 Batch of the Manipur Tripura Cadre.
Since his joining the Tripura part of the cadre in 1984 after the basic
training, Shri Jha has worked in various capacities in the state and in
central organizations.
During his first central deputation to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), New Delhi Shri Jha was intimately associated with the plans to introduce information technology in Law Enforcement. In 1991 he was deputed to the Scotland Yard for a training course for three months on this subject. Following his return, he became one of the key resource persons in designing the forms which are currently used at various stages of crime investigation - starting with the First Information Report (FIR).
In the rapid socio economic changes that India is witnessing, the volume and nature of crime has also increased exponentially. The fast mobility, use of information technology, wider access of the banking sector to millions of Indian and the all pervasive use of mobile phones has affected the nature of crime. Crime management in India still remains manpower oriented. The voluminous information generated on crime and criminals not only makes its handling by manual techniques difficult, but also handicaps the entire process of information management.
Shri Jha with his subsequent exposure, not only India but also in foreign countries, is convinced that introduction of information technology in law enforcement and creating management information systems to assist the top managers needs to be done immediately. He is currently making an appraisal of the status in Tripura, so that systems can be bought in place for effective policing.
