AP Police log in experts to crack cyber crimes

Hyderabad, February 24: With an increase in incidents of cyber crime and lack of expertise with investigators to solve them, Andhra Pradesh Police have roped in IT experts to provide training to officials dealing with the new-age menace.

“Insufficient expertise of the investigating officers is a big hurdle in probing cases of cyber crime as these officers are not adequately trained in investigation of cyber offences and collection of electronic evidence,” Additional SP (Cyber Crime) U Rama Mohan said.

“The police have taken up various training programmes with the help of experts in information technology law as cyber crimes require tracking offenders over the Internet, he said.
