Priorities of the Police have changed to maintenance of law and order, check of Militant and Ogranised Criminal Gangs, maintenance of VIP Security and Handle Dharna and Raillies by Trade Union and Political Party. Rate of Crime have increased and activities of Criminal has widened due to use of better communication system and transport. There is neither staff nor time for maintenance of Crime Records manually. Harnessing and exchange of Information on Criminal operating in neighboring Police Stations, Districts and State has become next to impossible.

The need was felt to do away this manual maintenance of records and manual sharing of information on the Crime & Criminal of Inter-District and Inter-State nature. The computerization and computer network of Crime Criminal records and the Police Computer Network was considered only viable alternative.

Creation of NCRB

The National Police Commission in 1979 recommended creation of a Nodal Agency which would suggest a common formats for maintenance of Crime-Criminal records at all the Police Stations in the country. The same common format should also be utilized to created shareable databases at Police Stations, Districts, States and National Level .

On this recommendation NCRB was created in 1986 with amalgamation of Directorate of Coordination Police Computers, Central Finger Print Bureau, Data Section of Coordination Division of Central Bureau of Investigation and Statistical Section of the Bureau of Police Research and Development.
