India will have the most tech-savvy police force to tackle cyber-threats and criminals, said Union Home Minister Amit Shah after reviewing the passing-out parade of the 75th batch of Indian Police Service (IPS) probationers at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy (SVPNPA) in Telangana’s Hyderabad on Friday.
“Technology will play an important role in the future and we are implementing a police technology mission with an aim to have the most tech savvy system in the world to tackle cyber threats and criminals. I’m sure the technological background of the officers will contribute to this initiative,” added the Union Minister.
Mr. Amit Shah stressed on the fact that most of the probationers have engineering and technical background. Of the 175 probationers of the 75th Regular Recruit (RR) batch, including 34 women officers, 155 were IPS probationers, while 20 were foreign probationers. Five probationers were from the Nepal Police Service, six from Royal Bhutan Police, five from Maldives Police Service and four from the Mauritius Police Force.
