Director-General of Police (DGP) Harish Kumar Gupta inaugurated the Cybercrime Coordination Centre at the Krishnalanka police station here on Wednesday.

The DGP, along with NTR Police Commissioner S.V. Rajasekhar Babu, also inaugurated the cyber radar wing and a cyber laboratory.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Gupta said the police would set up a cyber war room and were proposing to introduce a cyber guard policy in the State.

The police were also working to improve technology and training and create awareness among the public to prevent cyber offences, he said.

“We are planning to impart cybercrime training to police constables and deploy 20 cyber constables in each district,” Mr. Gupta said.

Stating that the first 30 minutes were the golden period in cybercrime cases, he urged the public to alert the police by calling 1930 immediately after an offence occurred.

Inspector-General of Police (P&L) M. Ravi Prakash, Deputy Commissioners of Police and other officers participated in the programme.
