The Centre for Police Technology, a pioneering initiative by Algoritha Security Pvt. Ltd., has launched an open call to empanel experts and technology providers working on smart policing solutions. With a focus on innovation, research, and skill development, the Centre seeks to create a national knowledge ecosystem around advanced tools and technologies shaping the future of law enforcement.
Positioned at the intersection of law enforcement and technological innovation, the Centre supports the integration of cybercrime control, surveillance, forensic science, and AI-driven systems into routine policing operations. It aims to serve as a hub for collaboration between police forces, industry experts, startups, and academic institutions across India.

By assembling a national roster of talent, the Centre seeks to assist police agencies in evaluating, adopting, and scaling solutions that enhance situational awareness, investigative speed, and citizen engagement. Interested professionals can apply via the official empanelment link (Click Here).
The initiative also highlights the importance of vendor-neutral assessments and indigenous solutions tailored to Indian policing needs.
The Centre’s empanelment effort comes at a time when Indian police forces are increasingly tasked with countering complex digital threats—ranging from ransomware attacks to online financial fraud—while also managing public safety through smart surveillance and data analytics.
As India advances toward tech-integrated governance, this initiative marks a foundational effort to align public safety infrastructure with digital-age requirements.
