Goa police's ‘radical content analyser' to curb extremist blitz
Panaji:
Goa police on Tuesday started monitoring online and offline content using the 'radical content analyser' to tackle extremist propaganda. Videos lasting up to 25 minutes will be subject to such monitoring too.
Chief minister Pramod Sawant said that Union home minister Amit Shah wants the radical content analyser, developed in Goa, to be used across the country.
Goa police, in collaboration with BITS Pilani Goa, developed two AI-based policing tools — Spot the Scam (online fraud detection), and the radical content analyser. Sawant launched the AI-based policing tools.
Sawant said that when Goa police gave a presentation to Shah, he was impressed and said that such AI policing tools should be used nationwide.
The CM said that technology tools used for policing will help Goa police maintain law and order.
Sawant noted that criminals are using advanced tools to commit crimes, and it is necessary to deploy sophisticated tools to crack the cases.
The radical content analyser has the capability to monitor radicalisation content — both online and offline.
Apart from Spot the Scam and the radical content analyser, Goa police have started using several other electronic tools such as Cyber Yoddha, AI-ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) Lab, QuickPass, and TRACK (Traffic Response and Congestion Control Centre).

Other policing tools include the tenant-domestic help verification app, the cloud-based 1930 cybercrime helpline centre, and the QR code-based public feedback system.
These tools help police improve their operational capabilities and connect with people.
The radical content analyser was conceived during Hackathon 2024, organised by Goa police, to counter online radicalisation and prevent extremist propaganda on the recommendation emerging from the DG/IG conference, 2023.
An MoU with BITS Pilani Goa was signed to develop the tool.
A police officer said that the QR-based initiative of Goa police aims to enhance traffic-rules compliance and reduce inconvenience to road users through technology-driven enforcement.
This was developed by students of Padre Conceicao College of Engineering during Hackathon 2024.
A cloud call centre for the 1930 cybercrime helpline is being developed at the AI-ML Lab. It is a cloud-based call-handling system for the cybercrime helpline to handle calls from citizens.
'It allows the handling of large volumes of calls, real-time monitoring, and call conferencing during a cyber distress call,' police said.
