New age technologies, border security and integrating technology for SMART policing echoed at the two days 4th Young SPs Conference and 3rd Police Expo 2022 organised by Bureau of Police Research & Development and FICCI.

Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nityanand Rai inaugurated the 4th Young SP Conference and 3rd Police Expo 2022.

The two-day conference was themed 'Innovation and Research in Cyber Crime Management, Drones and Counter Drones' and is witnessing the participation of nearly 200 young IPS officers of the rank of Superintendent of Police (SP) and above.

MoS Home, Nityanand Rai said "Adopting new techniques for internal security as well as for border defence is the need of the hour, keeping in mind the crime scenario today. Aspects of Industrial Revolution 4.0, such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, IoT, drones and counter-drones, AR/VR, are changing our lives. Law enforcement agencies must keep up with industrial advancements and simultaneously understand changing crime patterns. Today, cybercrimes are being deployed to rip off common people of their hard-earned money and spread fake news and communal disharmony. We all must be familiar with the latest techniques to curb these crimes". 

He also mentioned MHA's initiative to start '1930' as the Cyber Financial Fraud helpline to help people in distress.

DG, BPR&D Balaji Srivastava said, "Modernization can never end, because the industry is constantly churning out newer technologies and capabilities in the security and crime management sector. BPR&D has the responsibility of continuously creating an interface between industry, academia and technological institutions of national importance and law enforcement agencies through expositions and demonstrations of the latest technologies, products, and best practices related to police modernization."

The five theme-specific sessions at the conference are: Drone as Force Multiplier for Enforcement Agencies, Counter Drone Capabilities for Neutralizing Threats Posed by Rogue Drones, Cyber Crime Management Capabilities to Address Complex Challenges faced by Police Forces, New Age Technologies for Predictive and SMART Policing and Startups - Shaping the Future of Law Enforcement.

Subhrakant Panda, Senior Vice President, FICCI expressed,  "A secure, well-protected working and living environment is very important for the Nation's economic progress. That is why this conference is a very important one. A rapid pace of technological development is undoubtedly changing lives. On the flip side, there are new kinds of crime and security challenges. The perpetrators are faceless and the cost of executing such crimes is often extremely low. That is what presents a challenge to the security forces."
