Phase II of the ICJS project under the guidance of the Union Minister of Home Affairs Amit Shah will be a step towards ensuring effective and modern policing, stated by the official announcement.
The official release reads further, "The ICJS system would be made available through a dedicated and secure cloud-based infrastructure with high-speed connectivity.

What is Inter-Operable Criminal Justice System?
ICJS is a national platform for enabling integration of the main IT system used for delivery of Criminal Justice in the country by five pillars comprising Police (Crime and Criminal Tracking and Network Systems), e-Forensics for Forensic Labs, e-Courts for Courts, e-Prosecution for Public Prosecutors, and e-Prisons for Prisons.
"In Phase-I of the ICJS project, individual IT systems have been implemented and stabilized; also search of records have been enabled on these systems. Under Phase-II, the system is being built on the principle of ‘one data one entry’ whereby data is entered only once in one pillar and the same is then available in all other pillars without the need to re-enter the data in each pillar," adds the official release.
