The major infrastructure and technology upgrades proposed/completed by States/UTs under the ASUMP scheme are like upgradation of communication network through Satellite based communication network terminals ( POLNET Fly Away Terminal ), improvement of response time through Integrated Command and Control Centre with latest equipment, procurement of advanced weaponry, upgradation of forensic capabilities with procurements of equipment like digital forensic kits, advanced cyber forensic tools, etc.
‘Police’ and ‘Public Order’ are State subjects as per the seventh Schedule of the Constitution, it is the responsibility of State Government to assess the policing efficiency and crime detection in the State.
The Centre supplements State/UTs efforts through the Assistance to States & UTs for Modernization of Police (ASUMP) scheme which helps States/UTs to strengthen police infrastructure at the cutting-edge level by equipping police stations with modern technology.
