Technical Wings

 

Punjab Police is quick to adopt scientific and modern methodology of crime investigation with changing times. The archaic manpower-oriented investigation and management of order have been and are being replaced with latest scientific aids and communication system. Maintenance of official record is being computerised for quick retrievals and reduction of downtime.

Computer & Wireless Wing

Punjab Police is one of the pioneer police forces in the country to introduce computerisation of police records. The Punjab Police Computer Centre was set up in 1981. Initially, only Crime-Criminal and Finger Print applications were developed, but now various more areas of police functioning have been computerised. The various districts in Punjab are now connected to police headquarters through modems. The Centre is also planning to use Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) technology for wide area networking. Keeping pace with the contemporary advancements in the field of crime and crime prevention, the Punjab Police is well-equipped to face the challenges of any kind. It has trained professionals to use modern tools and techniques of maintaining law and order.

Finger Print Bureau, Phillaur

Finger Print Bureau, Phillaur (Punjab) was established in September 1897. Since its inception this Finger Print Bureau has been catering to the needs of investigating agencies of North-West India including Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, J&K and UT Chandigarh. The Bureau functions under the administrative control of Additional Director General of Police, Computerisation and Wireless and is headed by an officer of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police designated as Director.

Forensic Science Laboratory

 

Forensic Science Laboratory, Punjab was established in the year 1980 and the effective crime case work examination started in the year 1981. The laboratory is functioning at sector 9, Chandigarh. It comprises eight divisions - (1) Ballistic (2) Biology (3) Chemistry (4) Documents (5) Photography (6) Physics (7) Serology and (8) Toxicology. Besides main FSL, Punjab, it has mini teaching FSL at Punjab Police Academy, Phillaur. FSL Punjab has established its excellence in the field of explosives, as a result the services of the laboratory have been utilised from time to time by Central as well as other  State Police Organisations.

Senior scientists of the laboratory have been usefully contributing to the teaching and training program being conducted at PPA, Phillaur, PRTC Jahan Khelan, Commando training centre at Bahadurgarh and CID training school at Chandigarh. The scientists are also invited for delivering expert lectures on specific topics in various central organisations like NICFS, Delhi and NPA Hyderabad.

Apart from scientific help rendered in crime clues examination, the scientists have always been in the pursuit of knowledge and have been contributing in carrying out research on various difficult forensic problems. This has lead in achieving Ph.D. degree to many scientists and at present nine Ph.Ds. in various science subjects are working in the laboratory to provide the best scientific expertise in the field of forensic science for the state of Punjab as well as for  the country.

FSL, Punjab is examining approximately more than 3,000 cases per year and a rare feat of zero pendency level has been achieved. As the saying goes that justice delayed is justice denied, the scientists in FSL Punjab put special efforts to complete the examination within 15 days of the receipt of the case in the laboratory.

During the militancy period of more than a decade in Punjab, the laboratory has examined practically all the terrorist cases pertaining to shoot outs, blasts, arson, kidnappings, hangings, threatening, etc. The coordination between the police and the forensic scientists lead to the formation of special wing in Punjab Police, which has provided a complete study of threat perceptions from the acquisitions of terrorists in Punjab. The findings of this wing have been collated to the senior police officers to combat terrorism and other governmental authorities were made aware of the requirement of upgrading the facilities of the Punjab Police to meet the challenges and to contain militancy.

Special Wing

Punjab State had faced terrorism during 1981 to 1993. During this period, the militants in Punjab acquired higher fire power, disastrous explosives and most sophisticated communication equipment and hi-tech tools to upgrade their sinister activities. It became necessary to scientifically examine all the acquisition of militants, evaluate threat perception, educate the fighting force from the dangers and suggest the up gradation of fighting facilities to the force. In April 1990, the Director General of Police, Punjab envisioned and setup a Special Wing under a Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG), supported by forensic scientists and other experts. This Wing took up systematic assessment of operational skills of various militant groups to ascertain the sophistication level achieved by them. Special Wing established working alliance with universities, national laboratories and different research facilities of DRDO all over the country. This overall study of terrorists' phenomenon from sophistication angle led to a thorough assessment of threat levels posed by militants, as well as, the deep involvement of an agency of neighboring country in arming the Punjab militants with dangerous range of weaponry, explosives, ultra modern communication system and hi-tech tools. This evaluation was collated and disseminated to the right quarters of operational, monitoring as well as planning levels in police and other wings of government involved in the fight against terrorism. It was this detail enlightenment briefing of police and paramilitary forces regarding the extent of threat faced by them, which lead to their logistic as well as operational planning thrust at the right time and in the right direction. This constructive role played by one of the D.I.Gs and a Forensic Scientist in management of controlling terrorism is a unique, Nobel and unparalleled experiment in India which proved to be immensely successful, not only in evaluation but stood up well in research and development for logistic support also. Very senior police officers took keen interest and extended guidance and provided facilities to the Special Wing to meet the requirement of Punjab Police and developed and designed a number of gadgets which have been found quite useful in combating terrorism. More importantly, cost effectiveness and cost reduction were achieved in a big way. Special wing has carried out research in the optical, electrical and electronic fields along with contributing on bullet proofing materials viz a steel, glass, cavelar and poly carbonate. A few of the items designed/developed are:

1. Simple and panel periscope
2. Protecting viewing window
3. Riot control shields
4. IR filter glass torch
5. IR filter head lights and parking lights
6. Parabola sound enlarger
7. Mechanical clock detector
8. Electronic timer detector
9. Poison detection kit
10. Home made bullet proof jackets
11. Bullet proof mobile morchas
12. Bullet proof and bomb resistant mobile morchas
13. Bullet proofing of vehicles
14. Explosion Scene Examination Kit
15. Ammunition Evaluation
