Goa: DGP Alok Kumar said it is important to improve public service delivery and tackle the growing challenges of cybercrime
Panaji: Goa Director General of Police (DGP) Alok Kumar said that the police recently started a number of measures to improve public service delivery and employ contemporary technology to address the growing problem of cybercrimes.
“Goa police have started three projects that use contemporary technologies. They were put in place to enhance the delivery of public services and deal with online concerns,” Goa DGP Alok Kumar told the media report.
“The Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Lab is the first project, and it will address every facet of law enforcement. The ‘Quick Pass System’ is the second initiative. With the rise in cybercrimes in society, ‘Cyber Yoddha’ is the third and most important endeavor,” he said.
The Goa Police unveiled a number of cutting-edge initiatives on Tuesday in a significant effort to enhance traffic control, use artificial intelligence, and fortify cybersecurity.
A crucial part of the Cyber Surakshit Goem campaign, the Cyber-Yoddha Program aims to educate volunteers from a variety of backgrounds, including students, media professionals, educators, non-governmental organizations, and older people, to serve as ambassadors for cyber awareness.
The Cyber Police Station will teach these volunteers to identify patterns in cybercrime and inform the public on how to avoid it. Furthermore, an AI-ML Lab has been built at the Crime Branch in Ribandar by the Goa Police in collaboration with Samruddh Bharat Technologies Pvt Ltd.
This lab will concentrate on developing AI-driven solutions to enhance cybersecurity and law enforcement, such as a help desk driven by AI, tools for identifying and thwarting harmful material, and machine learning-based crime prediction models. A committed group of police officers and AI specialists will work in the lab, which will be supervised by SP Crime and Goa Police.
The Quick Pass mobile application has been released to increase the effectiveness of traffic enforcement. By using this software, drivers may create a QR code as evidence of compliance, eliminating the need for several document checks during traffic stops.
Until a violation is noted, the QR code is valid for 12 hours. Instant QR code production, easier police officer verification, and an admin dashboard for real-time traffic data analysis are all aspects of the program. Additionally, the Goa Police have improved the 1930 Cyber Crime Helpline as part of their efforts to improve cybercrime response.
To enhance accountability and collaboration with investigative teams, the hotline was moved from SPCR Panaji to the Cyber Crime PS. To guarantee prompt response, a team of nine employees staffs two dedicated phone lines that are open around-the-clock. They file complaints into the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal (NCRP).
