The Nagpur Police have launched an AI-powered technology, SIMBA  (System Integrated for Monitoring and Big-data Analysis), to enhance the city's law enforcement capabilities. The tool was developed by Staqu Technologies, India's premier artificial intelligence (AI) implementation enabler, in collaboration with the Nagpur police department.

Commenting on this development, Mr Atul Rai, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Staqu Technologies, said, "Our longstanding vision revolves around a robust security infrastructure propelled by advanced technology, and SIMBA perfectly aligns with this vision." 

According to Atul Rai, Staqu Technologies, through the integration of SIMBA powered by its JARVIS platform, reaffirms its commitment to providing cutting-edge technology that empowers law enforcement agencies to maintain public safety more effectively. He added that the company's proud collaboration with homeland security and Nagpur Police is all in service of fortifying the security landscape, ensuring the highest quality of service. This strategic partnership underscores Staqu's commitment to providing cutting-edge public safety and security solutions. 

Meet SIMBA

SIMBA is an advanced generative AI tool that delivers swift information from various data sources, such as CCTV feeds, images, and audio related to crime and criminals. Integrated into a digitized database of 1,50,000 criminals, it offers customized information based on specific prompts and features such as facial recognition and speaker identification. 

Crime GPT, a key feature of SIMBA, utilizes an extensive criminal database to provide results from video, document and audio data. Criminal information can be searched using Facial recognition, audio input or natural language query in written form. The tool promptly accesses the database and delivers the required information. The underlying feature of SIMBA, Crime GPT, is supported by LVM and LLM-based AI models and equipped with advanced features, including speaker identification and criminal gang analysis, among others. 

Dr. Ravinder Singal, Commissioner of Police, Nagpur stated that the have observed significant benefits from advanced technologies in recent years. The implementation of Crime GPT in our operations marks a crucial step towards a digitized approach in law enforcement. He believes that SIMBA will enhance public security and improve efficiency in maintaining law and order by providing real-time alerts. 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.
