Srinagar, July 17: The Jammu & Kashmir Government has approved the establishment of the Jammu & Kashmir Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (JK4C) as an independent organization to strengthen the Union Territory’s cyber security framework and enhance its capacity to prevent, detect and investigate cybercrime.
According to an order issued by the Home Department, the JK4C will function under the overall superintendence and control of the Director General of Police, J&K, and will serve as the nodal agency for cybercrime coordination across the Union Territory.
The Centre will work in close coordination with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Ministry of Home Affairs, ensuring alignment with the national cybercrime response framework.
The government has appointed an officer of the rank of Inspector General of Police (IGP) to head the JK4C as its Chief Executive Officer (CEO).
As part of the restructuring, cybercrime-related functions have been separated from the Crime Wing of J&K Police and will now be handled exclusively by the newly established centre.
The order further states that the existing two Zonal Cyber Crime Investigation Centres of Excellence (CICEs) and 23 District Cyber Police Stations will be integrated into the JK4C, creating a unified institutional mechanism for addressing cyber offences across Jammu & Kashmir.
The government has also approved the centre’s organizational structure, tentative staff strength, operational framework, workflow and the functions of its various divisions and units, as outlined in the annexure accompanying the order.
Officials said proposals for the creation of additional posts required for the functioning of the JK4C will be processed separately after completion of necessary formalities. Until then, Police Headquarters has been directed to deploy personnel of the rank of Deputy Superintendent of Police (DySP) and below from the existing police force to ensure that the centre becomes operational without delay.
The establishment of the JK4C is expected to improve cybercrime investigations, strengthen inter-agency coordination and bolster the Union Territory’s ability to respond to emerging cyber threats while providing greater protection to citizens against cyber-enabled offences.
