In response to the growing threat of cyber fraud, Kerala Police has announced a series of bold new initiatives aimed at combating cybercrime across the state. With the rise in cyber-related offenses, particularly online scams targeting unsuspecting citizens, Kerala’s law enforcement is taking a proactive approach to curb such activities. Among the key measures is the creation of a dedicated cyber crime unit that will focus solely on tracking down fraudsters operating on digital platforms. This initiative will involve collaboration with national and international law enforcement agencies, ensuring a broader reach and a more comprehensive crackdown on cybercriminals.
Another key part of Kerala Police’s plan is the implementation of advanced technological tools and training for officers. The department will invest in state-of-the-art software capable of tracking and tracing fraudulent online transactions, identifying fake websites, and uncovering sophisticated scam operations. The department will also host awareness programs for the general public, educating them on how to recognize and report cybercrime. Furthermore, Kerala Police will launch a helpline specifically for victims of cyber fraud, offering immediate assistance and guidance on how to handle such issues. By engaging with the public and investing in technological resources, the Kerala Police aim to create a safer online environment for citizens and reduce the rate of cybercrime in the state.
