Criminal record verification system digitised in KP
PESHAWAR: The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police have introduced Criminal Record Verification System (CRVS) to put an effective end to terrorism and other heinous crimes across the province.
A statement issued here on Friday said the move had enhanced the police efficiency to a great extent in connection with the verification which ultimately led to better interrogation and investigation.
It said under the system, computerised data about all criminals had been provided to all police stations available through CRVS.
Record of proclaimed offenders is available on phone through an SIM service to all police stations, checkposts and snap checking points.
The police officials on duty on these points can directly verify the background of any person by clicking the mobile’s button, the statement explained.
The KP police along with digitisation of FIRs have issued 276 special SIMs to all district police through which millions of people have so far been checked and in the process 1,819 proclaimed offenders arrested.
The statement said under the system all data had been converted to digital format and all concerned officials had access to it through one click.

Great achievement. Proud of KPK police & PTI.
Great
Good work kpk govt
This should be done on country basis not only for one province
Need to collect everyones fingerprints and digitise them.
The other provinces may follow KPK on record kerping and availability down the line.
Commendable job. We are proud of our PKP police.
Great
Make mandatory this in all provinces because federal government should have authority and excess to national data. Same type of data should be used for every government body for expenditure and development so federal government can check and make sure every project ongoing or completed. It will help control corruption.
