Union Home Secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla on Tuesday said the government had given an in–principle approval for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) Academy to join the Interpol Global Academy Network, making it a regional hub for providing various specialised training courses of the Interpol.
Mr. Bhalla, who inaugurated the one–day 8th Interpol Liaison Officers’ virtual conference organised by the CBI, said in the last two decades, rapid technological transformations had increased the complexity of investigations, necessitating an enhanced international cooperation.
He said the Interpol Liaison Officers played a key coordinating role in the execution of Letters of Request and Mutual Legal Assistance Requests from other countries.
