The evolution of smart policing reflects a paradigm shift in law enforcement strategies, marked by the integration of digital technologies to enhance efficiency, accountability, and citizen engagement.

This article critically evaluates the major technology-driven reforms introduced in Rajasthan’s policing system, their effectiveness, challenges faced, and the road ahead. The analysis is drawn from official sources, field reports, and secondary research to assess how digital transformation is redefining the structure and functionality of policing in Rajasthan.
