Joint Secretary (PM) Ministry of Home Affairs has recently issued directions to all Controlling Authorities to use CCTNS (Crime & Criminal Tracking Network System) to check the crime record of private security guards, as well as the owners/ directors of the private security agencies so that the police verification of the private security guards can be done speedily and certificates can be issued at the earliest. This will speed up the verification processes for the renewal of PSARA license. Almost 90% police stations across country have been connected through computer network under CCTNS, thereby antecedents of a person especially his/ her criminal records can be checked and verified soon.
CAPSI has been persuading MHA to speed up the verification process so that every security guard is verified through its systems. This notification of the MHA will really help in renewal of pending licenses.
