Gurgaon: Additional Director General of Police (Crime) OP Singh, who is also the Director of the State Crime Record Bureau (SCRB), has directed his team to work on data management, the introduction of patterns and trend analysis to provide specific inputs to all police district police.
That step, he said, will strengthen the detection of crime and help overcome criminal activities throughout the state.
Singh said police officers must have special input based on crime and patterns in their districts.
“This input recorded in the district police diary will be useful in reducing the crime graph and also set a target for police officers,” he said.
Whether it’s Gurgaon, Farendabad or Mahendragarh, he said, there is a large data with the police department but that needs to be analyzed to produce inputs that can be useful in making strategies.

DGP PK Agrawal also directs the bureau to expand the scope of further work for the introduction of patterns and trend analysis.
