Uttar Pradesh DGP Rajeev Krishna made a notable disclosure about the popularity of the UP Cop App while describing it as a digital police station. According to him, the app has seen more than 50 lakh downloads since its launch in 2019 and helped fetch over 2.1 crore FIR copies from home.
Krishna said these figures exhibit the importance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision for digital policing.
The UP police chief said that the app, coupled with the police’s citizen portal, has significantly reduced the need for people to visit police stations as well as reduced the resolution time for various services.
According to him, these online platforms have been providing 27 types of police services to people, such as online FIR registration, downloading FIR copies, reporting lost articles, character verification, tenant verification, domestic help verification, and employee verification.
Krishna sounded optimistic about what he described as a visionary approach, saying the UP Police is setting a new example in serving the common public as technology has been integrated into policing to make it people-centric, transparent, and accountable.
