Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Of more than 4,000 trainee police constables, 1,074 have been trained to serve as cyber warriors in the state, officials said on Wednesday. At present, more than 4,000 constables are undergoing training at nine police training schools across the state.
For the first time, a 20-day special computer course has been designed for trainees to prepare them to tackle cyber crime, which has spread across society. At present, many in the police force do not have the required capacity to handle cyber crime and have to approach cyber experts from time to time.
