Months after it launched CrimeGPT in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh police, Gurugram-based startup Staqu Technologies is working with the Nagpur Police. The company has launched its latest AI-powered solution for law enforcement. Known as SIMBA, the new AI tool has been designed to enhance the law enforcement capabilities of Nagpur city police.

Developed in collaboration with the Nagpur Police Department, SIMBA is an advanced generative AI tool that delivers instant information from various data sources such as CCTV feeds, images, and audio related to crime and criminals. The company claims that the new tool, which is powered by its proprietary JARVIS platform, is integrated into a digitised database of over 1,50,000 criminals. Besides, it also provides customised information based on specific prompts and features such as speaker identification and facial recognition.

“The implementation of Crime GPT in our operations marks a crucial step towards a digitised approach in law enforcement. This AI-powered tool will not only enhance public security but also improve our efficiency in maintaining law and order by providing real-time alerts,” said Dr Ravinder Singal, Commissioner of Police, Nagpur. He added that by facilitating faster retrieval of information and streamlining investigative processes, Crime GPT will greatly aid ongoing criminal investigations. “It will also enable better data collation across various law enforcement centres, leading to quicker resolutions.”
