India Will Train Police To Catch Cybercriminals

Paul McDougall writes on InformationWeek:

In an effort to better protect the millions of outsourced consumer and business records that find their way to its shores each year, India has begun training law enforcement personnel to identify and catch cybercriminals.

The state of Karnataka, home to tech hot spot Bangalore, on Thursday announced the opening of a lab where it expects to train more than 1,000 police officers and other law enforcement personnel annually in cybercrime investigation techniques. The center, located in Bangalore, will be the third such facility opened by Indian authorities. Cybersecurity centers already operate in the cities of Mumbai and Thane.
