The Chief Justice of Alborz Province recently announced a breakthrough in Alborz fugitive identification. Hossein Fazeli Harikandi shared these statistics during a judicial performance review this week. Authorities successfully pinpointed 5,100 individuals who had evaded legal custody or court summons. This figure represents a massive leap in the province’s tracking capabilities. The judiciary credits a new digital infrastructure for this high success rate. This development signals a new era for law enforcement in the region.
The SAMA system serves as the primary engine for Alborz fugitive identification. Officials launched the Effective Persons Information System initially in 2024. It aims to solve the chronic lack of integrated databases for tracking suspects. Many individuals previously escaped notice at police checkpoints or judicial entrances. The system now closes those gaps by syncing data across multiple departments. It creates a unified digital net that catches those with outstanding warrants.
Statistics show the dramatic impact of this technological transition over the last two years. During 2024, the province identified and detained 2,285 accused individuals through the platform. By 2025, the full implementation of the system led to 5,100 identifications. This jump reflects a 123 percent increase compared to the previous year. Of these newly identified persons, officers have already taken 1,200 into physical custody. These numbers highlight the growing efficiency of the provincial judicial branch.
Harikandi emphasized that Alborz fugitive identification remains a top priority for 2026. The SAMA system now operates at full capacity across all police stations. It also functions in every judicial unit throughout the province. This integration ensures that no fugitive can interact with the state unnoticed. The Chief Justice noted that the database prevents administrative errors during legal processing. He believes this transparency strengthens public trust in the justice system.
The broader implications of this program affect the entire national security landscape. Alborz often serves as a transit hub near the capital city. Effective tracking in this province reduces the mobility of criminal elements. Other provinces may soon adopt similar data-sharing models based on these results. The judiciary hopes to eliminate the category of “missing convicts” entirely. Continuous software updates will further refine the accuracy of person-matching algorithms. This digital shift represents a permanent change in how Iran manages its penal system.
