Haryana Government will establish a state-of-the-art Cyber Forensic laboratory equipped with high-end tools at the premises of Haryana Police, Gurgaon.
The State Government has also decided to set up high-tech training facility in the same premises for advance level training of police officers from not only of Haryana Police, but also from other State Police Forces subject to mutual consultations, said an official spokesman.
The move also aims at enhancing technological capabilities of Haryana Police for monitoring of social media. A Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in this regard would soon be signed between National Technical Research Organization (NTRO), New Delhi and Haryana Police. The spokesman said that NTRO would be responsible for extending technical support, customized equipment, hardware, software, servers, workstations, application and training to set up cyber forensic laboratory including capability of social media monitoring.
The Haryana Police would provide about 3000 square feet space for establishing laboratory and training facility with adequate furniture, said he.
NTRO would depute technical experts at the laboratory for providing training and smooth functioning of the lab whereas, Haryana Police would depute personnel on 24x7 basis for day-to-day manning of the facility and maintenance. All recurring expenditure for managing smooth running of the facilities, lease line bills and consumable items would be borne by Haryana Police, said he.
The spokesman added that a team of NTRO has also visited Technical Analysis Wing in CID and discussed various aspects of social media monitoring and unauthorized usage of satellite phone.
