Delhi Police on Saturday started a cyber lab in the national Capital. The lab which has been set up at Police Training College (PTC) at Jharoda Kalan was inaugurated by Commissioner of Police, BS Bassi, with the purpose of imparting state-of-the-art training to officers of Delhi Police who generally investigate cyber crime and bank frauds. The need to have a cyber lab in the PTC was felt as Delhi Police has been investigating many such cases. Men and officers will be imparted training in this lab and they will be also taught the new techniques of cyber-related investigations.
While inaugurating the Cyber lab, which has been set up by pooling training resources from Economic Offences Wing (EOW) Cell, Special Cell of Delhi Police as well as other private and public organisations, Bassi laid emphasis on imparting training to the officers of Delhi Police in view of the ever increasing network intrusion related crimes and their adverse impact on society.
“Cyber crime is a jurisdictionless, borderless crime, and therefore, difficult to track down without related expertise. Thus, there is a need for periodical training programmes for Delhi Police officers in the areas of cyber crime investigation, computer forensics and mobile phone security issues. With so many social networking sites and cyber-related criminal activities being reported in the city, the need to have a dedicated cyber lab was greater that before”, he said.
