Investigative competence is not an easy skill to acquire, especially with the emergence of new and evolving crime genres. Crime investigation is no more the evaluation and interpretation of physical evidence or witness statements as the strategy is becoming more complex. In the new environment, it often takes a considerable time for police personnel to learn the ropes, keep pace with the latest developments and excel in their roles.
Helping them to tackle operational challenges and increase conviction rate, the Kollam police have launched advanced training sessions on serious crime, including cyber and financial offences. A first-of-its-kind initiative in the State, the project funded by the District Police Employees Cooperative Society aims at identifying and addressing micro-level skill gaps.
