A presidential decree introducing a system for digital crime monitoring, analysis and forecasting took effect on 7 November 2026. Uzbekistan will develop a Unified Crime Data Platform for this purpose.

How the platform will work

An electronic register will record the objective and subjective causes of crimes, the measures taken to address them, and the agencies and officials responsible. The platform will automatically track the results of those measures over monthly, six-month and annual periods.

The system will produce six-month and annual forecasts by area, mahalla and type of crime. Based on those forecasts, areas facing serious crime problems will receive notices outlining measures to improve the situation.

Pilot and nationwide rollout

The platform will launch as a pilot in Tashkent’s Olmazor district by the end of 2027. A phased rollout across all regions is planned from 2028.

Annual surveys and research

An annual national crime victimisation survey will examine residents’ experiences of crime. A separate public survey will assess how safe people feel and how much they trust law enforcement agencies.

Annual targeted criminological research will cover young people, minors, women, people with prior convictions, people registered with the probation service and mahallas in the “red” category.

Legal basis — Presidential Decree No. PF–241 of 6 November 2026.
