New Delhi, Oct 28: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday insisted on launching a police technology mission that would provide all states access to the best-shared technology and encourage interstate cooperation in the fight against crime.
Speaking at the “Chintan Shivir” gathering of home ministers from various states to discuss internal security issues, he said that while providing the best technology, the states should avoid any budgetary restrictions that would prevent the adoption of technical breakthroughs.
The prime minister asserted that “we need to be ten steps ahead” of them because of the globalisation of the criminal world (criminals).”
The prime minister also pointed out that crime is no longer localised and instances of interstate, international crimes are on a rise.
“That is why mutual cooperation between state agencies and between central and state agencies is becoming crucial,” the PM said.
He added whether it is cybercrime or the use of drone technologies for the smuggling of weapons or drugs, the government needs to keep working towards new technologies to tackle it.
