With 25% of the total cases registered across Karnataka and 10% of the total number of cases registered in the city related to cybercrimes, the Director General and Inspector General of Police, Alok Mohan, said the focus would be given to cybercrime cases this year.
Speaking after a review meeting with senior officials here on Thursday, January 25, Alok Mohan said considering the growing number of cybercrimes and narcotics cases, the department is working towards capacity building, augmentation of resources, and training of all police personnel to investigate cybercrime cases.
The department is also aiming for a narcotics-free State and working towards achieving the goal, he added. “It’s a daily war waged by the police against narcotics, organised crime, and anti-social elements. There is no deadline set to tackle this problem. The police have been instructed to act immediately and not allow any crime to flourish,” he said.
