Tech Highlights of the Hybrid Training Model

• AI-Powered Simulations: Recruits will engage with artificial intelligence-driven scenarios that mimic real-world policing challenges—ranging from crowd control to cyber fraud detection. These simulations aim to sharpen decision-making and situational awareness.
• Cybercrime and Digital Forensics: The curriculum includes hands-on training in cybercrime investigation, digital evidence handling, and online threat mitigation. Officers will learn to trace IP addresses, decrypt digital trails, and respond to phishing and ransomware cases.
• Smart Classrooms and E-Learning: Training centers are being equipped with smart boards, biometric attendance systems, and cloud-based learning platforms. Recruits can access legal modules, case studies, and forensic tutorials remotely.
• Drone and Surveillance Tech: Select units will receive exposure to drone operations, facial recognition systems, and real-time surveillance tools—preparing them for tech-assisted field operations.
• Data Ethics and Privacy: Officers will be sensitized to digital rights, data protection laws, and ethical boundaries in tech-enabled policing.

Strategic Vision

The hybrid model reflects CM Yogi Adityanath’s broader vision to align UP Police with global standards in digital law enforcement. By embedding technology into foundational training, the state aims to build a force that is not only physically agile but digitally literate and ethically grounded.

Punjab Director General of Police Gaurav Yadav said AI can assist police in the detection of criminal activities and fraud by identifying patterns and trends in large volumes of data while machine learning algorithms can help understand criminal behaviour and allocate resources accordingly.

The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Additional DGP, Technical Services, Ram Singh and Director of Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Ropar Rajeev Ahuja in the presence of DGP Yadav.
