SCRB History: The State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB) is the outcome of the recommendation of the (Dharamvira) National Police Commission which found that the maintenance of the crime record functions has receded into an area of neglect. Over a period of time, the priorities in the police functioning have gradually shifted more towards maintenance of public order, dealing with a variety of agitational movements and towards internal security including VIP security, pushing the basic role of the police,i.e. prevention and detection of crime, virtually to the background. With the loss of priority of the crime investigation,the supporting activities of this function,inter-alia,crime records maintenance,has receded into an area of neglect.This has adversely affected the availability of information, particularly in regard to combating the organized crime and professional criminals.
