The new batch will also prove helpful in handling cases involving cyber crimes. “These policemen will prove beneficial when deputed in the cyber crime cell since they have the basic knowledge of IT,” IG Sheel Madhur said.

The recent batch underwent the training for a longer duration than the stipulated time. “Most of these new recruits will be deployed in the NCR region due to the increasing demands in these districts compared to rest of the state,” the police officer added.
