Organised Crime Intelligence Unit develops web application to track criminals and cases
The Organised Crime Intelligence Unit has launched a web-based application called OASIS to digitize and track criminal profiles, case histories, and intelligence reports. The system allows law enforcement to share real-time data across jurisdictions to prevent criminal activity.
Why it matters
The implementation of centralized digital databases represents a modernization of law enforcement efforts to combat organized crime through improved data accessibility.
The Organised Crime Intelligence Unit (OCIU) has indigenously developed a web-based Office Automation with Synchronised Information System (OASIS) application to digitise and monitor information related to organised criminals, their associates and criminal cases.
The responsive application, developed exclusively for officers and personnel serving in the OCIU, can be accessed through computers, mobile phones and tablets using web browsers across operating systems, including Windows, Android, macOS and iOS.
The application enables real-time collection and access to information on organised criminals, including their profiles, photographs, associates and rivals, cases, source reports, alerts and action-taken reports (ATRs). The information is accessed through a secure VPN firewall connection and stored on an in-house server at the OCIU headquarters.
According to the OCIU, 21,186 criminal profiles, including 14,113 rowdy profiles, have so far been uploaded to the OASIS database. The database contains details of 49,535 cases registered against them.
