This year’s ILO’s Conference has been organised on the theme ‘Strengthening International Law Enforcement Partnerships’, by the CBI on the eve of the upcoming UN International Day of Police Cooperation.

Mohan, in his address, emphasised on the importance of international police cooperation in tackling the rapidly evolving landscape of technology-enabled crimes which transcends borders.

“The spectre of transnational crime and organised crimes, require real time international police cooperation. The international dispersal of crime and criminals has enhanced the need for investigation abroad. Prevention, detection, investigation and prosecution of crime is increasingly reliant on digital evidence and foreign located evidence,” he said.

“New age crimes, including cyber enabled financial crimes, online radicalisation and transnational organised crime networks, are not confined by borders. In an increasingly interconnected world, the importance of international police cooperation cannot be overstated,” he said.
