Speaking on the occasion, Dr Thousen said that advancements in science and technology, 5G communication, modern gadgets, will be one area that will be a huge challenge for law enforcement and security agencies to address. He said he was hoping for institutions like SRM to partner with them in their Communication Institute, which was earlier called as Signal Battalion.

The MoU with India’s largest central police force was unique as it gave scope for both of them to learn from each other and also to offer their strengths. The MoU, he said, was their small contribution to the personnel of CRPF who were killed in action.
