Andhra Pradesh will become torchbearer for AI-led law enforcement: DGP Harish Kumar Gupta
Vijayawada: The national-level 'AI Hackathon' organised by the Andhra Pradesh Police department at RVR & JC College of Engineering in Guntur concluded on Sunday. Speaking at the event's conclusion ceremony, director general of police (DGP) Harish Kumar Gupta said that Andhra Pradesh Police made history with eCOPS, laying the foundation for the national CCTNS standard. He also highlighted that FINS (Fingerprint Identification System) scaled up to NAFIS (National Automated Fingerprint Identification System) at the national level. He mentioned that the AP Police stand at the threshold of a new dawn—the AI-Powered Police Operating System. To seize this moment, he said, our next steps must be appealed to police personnel to secure dedicated GPU clusters through India AI to power large-scale model training and real-time inference, and to assemble comprehensive master data sets that capture every operational nuance—this being the backbone of trustworthy AI. He also stressed the need to establish rigorous best practices and legal-grade guidelines for LLM usage—ensuring data integrity, chain-of-custody, and evidentiary security. To scale intelligence, he urged deploying open 70B-parameter models, fine-tuned on police data and governance protocols, to drive domain-specific insights. He proposed creating a sandbox: launching a secure application and access layer where these models can be tested, hardened, and deployed swiftly. By doing so, we will turbo-charge our use-case rollout—targeting four "low-hanging" solutions by year-end—and cement Andhra Pradesh as the first state police force with production-ready AI tools, becoming a true torchbearer for AI-led law enforcement in India and beyond, the DGP added.
