Overview
- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath chaired every session of the Lucknow conference, which replaces the traditional Police Week with an outcome-oriented forum.
- Adityanath launched the AI and big data-powered YAKSH app, a digital beat book that maps crimes and offenders and supports tools like facial recognition, real-time alerts and gang-link analysis.
- He directed that station house officers be posted strictly on merit, urged rejection of unwarranted political pressure, and called for station upgrades and accountability tied to beat performance.
- Officials highlighted expanded capacity, including training for over 60,000 constables within the state, cyber police stations in all 75 districts, 12 forensic labs and a forensic university.
- The roadmap advances CCTNS 2.0 with e-FIR, Zero FIR, e-Summons and e-Sakshya, alongside stronger cybercrime responses such as scaling the 1930 helpline and planning a dedicated cyber headquarters.
