In a move to fortify internal security amid persistent threats from Pakistan-sponsored terrorism, Jammu and Kashmir Police has announced the rollout of a state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled security grid. This next-generation system is designed to enhance surveillance, intelligence gathering, and rapid response mechanisms across the UT’s border areas and hinterland areas, marking a significant leap in technological integration for law enforcement.

The initiative, which stems from high-level discussions at the recent Pan-India Directors General and Inspectors General of Police (DGP/IGP) Conference in Raipur, underscores the government’s commitment to leveraging advanced technology while upholding ethical standards. The AI security grid will encompass a wide array of applications, transforming how the J&K Police operates in one of India’s most challenging security landscapes. In forensics, AI tools will accelerate evidence analysis by automating pattern recognition in ballistic reports and DNA sequencing, potentially reducing investigation timelines from weeks to hours.
