The Kerala Police are exploring AI-driven tools for investigations, which could change how crimes are solved and affect public safety.
The Kerala Police Cyberdome recently concluded the seventh iteration of its flagship technology program, known as HAC’KP or Hack for Policing, for the year 2026. Organizers reported receiving more than one thousand one hundred project applications for the event. Following a rigorous preliminary review process, authorities narrowed the field down to fifty primary participants who advanced to compete in the final round of the innovation challenge.
HAC’KP is an annual hackathon run by the Kerala Police Cyberdome that invites tech innovators to develop solutions for policing challenges, and "agentic AI" refers to advanced artificial intelligence capable of autonomous decision‑making.
