Truecaller and Delhi Police Conduct CyberWise Training Session
Delhi Police, in
collaboration with Truecaller, organized a cyber safety training session for
citizens, as part of their ongoing partnership aimed at preventing cyber
frauds, scams and raising cyber safety awareness among citizens. The CyberWise
training session was conducted in Hindi, and focused on empowering individuals
under the Delhi Police's Yuva program with essential digital safety skills. The
training program included educating participants about fundamental digital
hygiene practices, safeguarding personal information online, and tips to avoid
cyber scams. Its primary goal is to reduce citizens' exposure to online harm
while fostering trust in digital communication.
In addition to raising awareness, the cyber safety
training sessions encourage citizens to take requisite action by reporting
online scams, spam, fraud, and harassment to Delhi Police.
Sharing her thoughts on the
initiative, Ms Suman Nalwa, DCP & PRO, Delhi Police said, “Delhi
Police is actively dedicated to increasing cyber safety awareness and
empowering citizens to stay safe online. Our collaborative efforts with
Truecaller have successfully reduced the impersonation of Delhi Police
officials by verifying official numbers through Truecaller’s Government
Directory Services. Through the CyberWise training sessions, our mission is to
provide citizens and young participants of the Yuva Programme with the
essential knowledge and skills needed to make informed choices for their
protection while harnessing the opportunities in the digital world.”
Sharing her thoughts on the partnership, Ms.
Pragya Misra, Director of Public Affairs, at Truecaller, said, "We
are truly delighted to continue our mission of fostering online safety, with
the Delhi Police, in line with the Government of India’s aim of making the
internet open and safe, trusted and accountable for its citizens. CyberWise
has already benefited over 1.6 million citizens nationwide, and we remain
committed to contribute towards creating a digitally resilient community that
can harness the internet's potential while staying safe from frauds and scams.”
As part of the
Truecaller & Delhi Police partnership, a variety of initiatives have been
conducted to combat cybercrime. These initiatives include a range of
capacity-building measures for the Delhi Police, online safety training
sessions on emerging cybercrimes, and verifying all official numbers of Delhi
Police personnel on Truecaller’s Government Directory Services to tackle
impersonation.
