The difficult adaptation of police forces

It's about India, but frankly, the same article could probably be written in any country. The basic police officer has not been trained to detect and investigate cybercrimes. Nothing to be ashamed off, but something to act upon by various measures.
"Cyber crime still an enigma for cops" (reported by CCRC, 6 January 2009)

Idem for Kenya. "Police retrain officers to fight cyber " (Sunday Nation, 3 January 2009)

Otherwise, it leads to silly decisions like that of banning Wi-Fi..."Police In Mumbai Shutting Down Open WiFi" (TechDirt, 16 January 2009)
