Pune: The Pune cyber crime police have launched a DVD 'Useful website and tools for police officers' to educate the police personnel about the laws, methods to trace suspects and their mobile location.
The cyber police have chosen 100 different subjects related to crime and police. And each subject has at least five different websites links that would enable a police officer to get the desired information. The DVD contains website links and information on all bare acts, cyber laws, competitive examinations, how should the police behave with children, how to identify fake university certificates and credit card frauds, how to identify an absconding criminal in disguise and how to identify a missing person.
Besides, the cyber police have also given names of the software in the DVD, so, if the police officer has any doubts he can install the software and get the related information. Deputy Commissioner of Police (cyber crime), DGP Rajendra Dahale, said, "This is a unique project that was taken up by our police inspector Sangeeta Alfonso and assistant police inspector Sanjay Tungar. Our aim is to save the time of the police, while registering a case."
The DVD has been distributed to 30 police inspectors in the city. Moreover, the other commissionerates are also asking for it. Dahale further said, "We will give the DVD to the DG's office then it would be distributed to other parts of the state."
Alfonso said, "We have been working on this project for the past two months. Initially, we studied different areas, where the police encountered difficulties. We studied the problem areas and added the websites links in the DVD." Most of the time, police officers have to take help from the cyber crime cell while dealing with cyber crime but now they can get the information directly, Alfonso added. "Moreover, we have given different links. For example, if a police officer wants to discuss the case with experts. He just needs to click on that website and speak with the experts. Besides, most of the time police personal have problem in reading the post mortem report because of the medical terminology. A website link has been provided for such a situation also, where they can read it in their language," Alfonso further said.
The police can get information about a private security agency in case of a credit card fraud or net banking fraud. "Many times a police officer is unable to trace the mobile of a suspect. In this case, they just need to click on the related topic to get information," Alfonso said.
A police inspector with the cyber crime cell said, "The Mumbai police have also asked for the DVD."
