Goa Becomes India’s First State with 100% Cyber Fraud Response System
Goa has emerged as the first Indian state to deliver a complete response rate to cyber fraud calls, marking a major advancement in citizen-centric policing. The state’s cloud-based 1930 cyber fraud call centre has transformed accessibility, responsiveness, and service quality for complainants reporting online financial crimes.
Milestone in Cyber Fraud Response
The cyber fraud call centre has received over 5,000 calls since launch, with 581 complaints officially registered. Officers also returned around 1,500 missed calls, ensuring that every attempted contact received attention. Officials describe this as an unprecedented achievement in India’s cyber security framework.
Enhanced Efficiency Through New Infrastructure
Launched recently and operated round the clock by nine trained personnel, the new system automatically records caller details such as name, number, and call timing. The upgraded voice clarity and automatic voice recording mechanism allow for seamless communication and consistent documentation.
Quality Assurance and Real-Time Supervision
Call recordings are routinely reviewed for quality checks, mirroring private-sector models. Supervisors intervene when courtesy standards are not met, helping build trust between citizens and the police. The system also enables conference calls with officers and allows senior officials to monitor ongoing interactions.
