Handling cyber crime cases will be easy for police officers. On Monday, Mumbai police, with the help of Asian School of Cyber Laws (ASCL), launched an application called Collabrative Online Crime Control Network (Coin) which will make the detection process of such crimes easy for policemen.
The application was launched at the National Sports Club of India (NSCI) during a two-day conference on Cyber Crime Control (C4). Organised by Mumbai police, experts from various parts of the country will participate in the conference to ideate, debate and delibrate on the menace of cyber crime.
Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, who was the chief guest at the event, inaugurated the application 'Coin' in presence of additional chief secretary (Home) KP Bakshi, director general (DG) of the Anti Corruption Bureau and Mumbai police commissioner Rakesh Maria. Fadnavis said: "We are moving towards a digital age. Our prime minister Narendra Modi has wished for a digital India. However, with the digital world comes various threats which need to be tackled. I am happy that the Mumbai police along with ASCL have developed 'Coin' and I am hopeful that it will be helpful for the police in the city. It can be implemented across Maharashtra later."
Developed by ASCL, Coin is an interactive platform empowering the investigating agencies to tackle cyber crime and other cases involving digital evidences. Coin has various features that are built to help the investigators at every junction while investigating a case. For example, Coin section finder is an interactive system that will assist an officer to identify which sections of the Information and Technology Act can be applied in about more than 80 plus cases of cyber crime. Section finder is also linked to the Global Cyber Law Database for cyber laws of almost 50 countries. Another feature, Coin Investigator, has various check points, info-blocks and warning for social media, email and google browsing. Coin also provides a platform to search and track cyber suspects, habitual offenders through the Coin suspect tracker, while the Coin Intelligence Center will have information that will allow investigators to post and search reports on suspect, email and IP addresses and websites.
"For physical crimes, the procedure has been getting refined since forever. But not so for cyber crimes," said Maria. "Cyber crime investigations require an entirely different approach for investigation and hence the need for standardization, so that we can incorporate these standards in training," added. Maria stressed on the effort to try and bring police officers from across the country together so that the response and awareness levels to investigate cyber crimes are the same everywhere.
