Training The Cops In Mastering The Technology Used By Criminals

Criminals belonging to organised gangs like Dawood Ibrahim or Lawrence Bishnoi have been using technology to evade the cops. Even petty criminals have been using technology to con the common man. Every day, they have been evolving new techniques to hoodwink people and the cops.

Have you ever wondered how police can nab criminals who have left no clues, evidence, or witnesses? We read about criminals who have looted an ATM after defacing or disabling its CCTV camera or tele-callers emptying some elderly person’s pension account after luring him into divulging the OTP. Sometimes, some of these criminals get away with their antics. But all the criminals don’t escape all the time. The reason is the modern training the cops have received in institutes like the Central Detective Training Institute (CDTI) being run by the Bureau of Police Research and Development (BPR&D), a wing of the Union Home Ministry. Indian Masterminds spoke to Dr. Amandeep Singh Kapoor, Director, CDTI, Jaipur, to find out more about these institutes and the kind of training being imparted to nab modern criminals using the latest technological innovations. Please click on this link to watch the full interview…

We had recently spoken to Dr. Singh about how he joined the IPS and how he caught criminals like Lawrence Bishnoi. In today’s episode, we shall speak to him about how cybercriminals and gangsters are leveraging technological advancements to remain at least one step ahead of the police and what the police are doing to catch up with them.

Topics covered by CDTI during training are cryptocurrency, dark web crimes, and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear warfare (CBRN) issues as well. The training modules cover not only artificial intelligence but also intellectual property rights, new age policing, forensic audit, technological foresight in policing, data privacy, internet governance, data protection, etc.

He also discussed the steps taken by the Government of India in combating online fraud and the constitution of the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (IC4), as well as the creation of Cyber Commandos and Cyber Volunteers.
