\u2018Police\u2019 and \u2018Public Order\u2019 are State subjects as per the Seventh Schedule of the Constitution of India.

The Central Government supplements the initiatives of the States\/UTs through advisories and financial assistance under various schemes for capacity building of their LEAs.<\/p>\n

Cyber crime is a daunting challenge. Due to its vast and borderless nature, a cyber criminal can commit crime while sitting anywhere. On the basis of suspect mobile numbers reported by citizens on\u00a0National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal<\/strong>, during the period 1st January 2024 to 22nd July 2024, the major cities and places of origination of cybercrime in the country are Deeg (Rajasthan), Deoghar (Jharkhand), Nuh (Haryana), Alwar (Rajasthan), Nawada (Bihar), West Delhi (Delhi), Nalanda (Bihar), Jamtara (Jharkhand), Mathura (Uttar Pradesh), Patna (Bihar), Bengaluru Urban (Karnataka), Dumka (Jharkhand),\u00a0 Gautam Budh Nagar (Uttar Pradesh) , Jaipur ( Rajasthan), Khertal-Tijara (Rajasthan), North 24 Parganas (West Bengal), Kolkata (West Bengal), North West Delhi (Delhi), Sheikhpura (Bihar) and South West Delhi (Delhi).<\/p>\n

The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles and publishes the statistical data on crimes in its publication \u201cCrime in India\u201d. The latest published report is for the year 2022. Specific data regarding criminals engaged in cyber crime is not maintained separately by NCRB.<\/p>\n

So far, financial amount of more than Rs. 2400 Crore has been saved in more than 7.6 lakh complaints. A toll-free Helpline number \u20181930\u2019 has been operationalized to provide assistance in lodging online cyber complaints.<\/li>\n
  6. The Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) platform, namely \u2018CyTrain\u2019 portal has been developed under I4C, for capacity building of police officers\/judicial officers through online course on critical aspects of cyber crime investigation, forensics, prosecution etc. along with certification. More than 96,288 Police Officers from States\/UTs are registered and more than 70,992 Certificates issued through the portal.<\/li>\n
