Hyderabad: Union minister of state for home Bandi Sanjay Kumar lauded the services provided by the Directorate of Coordination Police Wireless (DCPW) in strengthening the police communication systems. He emphasised the need to introduce special training programs on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), internet of things (IoT), blockchain and cybersecurity at the Regional Police Wireless Training Institutes (RPWTIs) across the country.
During his visit to Bengaluru, Sanjay laid the foundation stone for a new hostel block at the DCPW’s RPWTI. He said the RPWTI, Bengaluru, founded in 1964, is serving as a nodal agency between police, security forces and disaster management agencies. The commendable work of managing the interstate police wireless communication network round the clock between Delhi and the capitals of 33 states, ensuring the smooth operation of the police communication system, is highly appreciated, said the minister.
Sanjay stressed the importance of further strengthening the communication systems in the country to meet modern security demands. He emphasised the need for a robust, reliable and advanced communication system to align with evolving technologies and address future challenges. Previously, training facilities for police personnel of various ranks from central, state and union territories were available only at the Central Police Radio Training Institute (CPRTI) in New Delhi. However, regional police radio training institutes (RPRTIs) have now been established in Chandigarh, Bengaluru, Gandhinagar and Kolkata, he informed.
