New Delhi: In a bid to effectively control cybercrimes, the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Home Affairs has recently recommended more refresher courses for all Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs).
The Standing Committee's 233rd report on action taken by the Indian government on cybercrimes was presented in the recently concluded Monsoon Session of Parliament, on August 10.
In its report, the Standing Committee observed that the nature of crimes was evolving and changing on a daily basis due to technological advancement.
"It is, therefore, important for the Centre to have coordination with the states/Union Territories (UTs) for optimal utilisation of existing resources.
The existing national-level training centre at Dwarka, New Delhi, established by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) must be used to provide short and long-term training and refresher courses periodically to all senior officers of the states/UTs involved in monitoring and handling cybercrimes in their respective states/UTs."
"This has to be done so that they can be educated properly to meet the challenges and technological advancement.
The trained officers should further train their counterparts/subordinates in their states/UTs."
The MHA informed the committee that the National Level Training Centre (NCTC) under the National Crime Record Bureau (NCRB) headquarters at Mahipalpur in New Delhi has been conducting short and long-term training and refresher courses periodically for all LEAs.
Till now nearly 13,000 police personnel, judicial officers and prosecutors have been provided training on cybercrime awareness, investigation and forensics. The panel observed that still many of the states/UTs have not come onboard for the purpose.
