The application had been developed on a flexible software oriented architecture so that could be used both in centralised as well as de-centralised deployment mode. This architecture would enable each police station to function independently and at the same time would allow data to flow to the divisional and HQ levels at regular intervals, thereby achieving the benefits of a centralised system. 

The application is also incorporated with a citizen interface, through which complaints can be raised and status of an already lodged FIR could. The user interface could display content both in English and local language.

It also included several operational modules, which would maintain records within respective police stations and other police bodies pertaining to various activities of the police in areas like crime, law and order, wireless, traffic, intelligence and counter intelligence, etc.

Each module has a search function to retrieve relevant data. A standard based information exchange gateway woud make available the required crime and criminal information for access by other states.

The information exchange will also retrieve the required information from other states enabling a seamless sharing of crime and criminal information across the country.
