At least two CBI officials confirmed that the states have been told about Interpol’s latest initiatives for online interactive instructor-led modules and webinars for law enforcement community since one-on-one trainings aren’t possible worldwide due to lockdowns. The virtual academy will have over 100 self-paced courses and modules for the law enforcement agencies. According to a statement by Interpol, the virtual academy complements its physical “Global Academy” for 194-member countries. In 2019, more than 15,000 online training courses were completed by global law enforcement, complementing its face-to-face sessions which reached around 5,000 officers from across the globe. These sessions ranged from topics such as counter-terrorism and cybercrime, to training on leadership for women in law enforcement and human rights in policing.
