Focus on empowering police personnel with technical skills to check increasing rate of cybercrimes

Retired Superintendent of Police A.S. Magennavar has stressed the need for technology upgradation in the Police Department and empowering police personnel with technical skills to check the increasing rate of cybercrimes.

Speaking at the Police Flag Day programme at DAR Grounds in Dharwad on Tuesday, he said that as graduates, post-graduates and even engineers are joining the police force, they should be trained on tracing hi-tech crimes, collection of evidence and technical nuances related to investigation.

Mr. Magennavar said that the work of police officers did not end with the cracking of a case. It will end only when the accused are held guilty and sentenced. This will also further increase the reputation of the Police Department, he said.
