CBI ORGANISES 10TH INTERPOL LIAISON OFFICERS CONFERENCE IN DELHI

The 10th INTERPOL Liaison Officers (ILO's) Conference, organised by CBI, was inaugurated by the Home Secretary at the CBI Headquarters in Delhi.

- 

The conference was organised on the theme 'Strengthening International Law Enforcement Partnerships', by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), on the eve of the upcoming UN International Day of Police Cooperation.

The event involved the participation of senior officers from all Central, State and Union Territory law enforcement agencies and International Police Liaison Officers from several countries.

The inaugural session was joined virtually by law enforcement personnel across India and across member countries of the INTERPOL, EUROPOL and GloBE networks.

In his inaugural address, Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan emphasised the importance of international police cooperation in tackling the rapidly evolving landscape of technologyenabled crimes that transcend borders. Stating that the spectre of transnational crime and organised crimes require real-time international police cooperation, he asserted.

"The international dispersal of crime and criminals has enhanced the need for investigation abroad. Prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crime is increasingly reliant on digital evidence and foreign located evidence," he added.

He further added, "New age crimes, including cyberenabled financial crimes, online radicalization and transnational organised crime networks, are not confined by borders. In an increasingly interconnected world, the importance of international police cooperation cannot be overstated".
