CISF launches encyclopaedia to strengthen security
services - Securitypedia
Portal includes videos, case studies
The Central Industrial Security Force launched an online
encyclopaedia — Securitypedia — which incorporates a wide gamut of
security-related practices across the globe, said CISF spokesperson on
Saturday.
The CISF has established a technical lab at National
Industrial Security Academy (NISA) in Hyderabad to maintain and update
technical knowledge about the latest innovations in the field safety and
security that can be used in places like airports and government offices, he
added.
The technical lab has a dedicated research and
development wing manned by a team of officers with a technical background, who
maintain a constant interface with various academic and research institutions
and other professional agencies, said a CISF official.
“Depending upon the outreach and feedback, the
Securitypedia will be made accessible to other paramilitary forces,” he said,
adding that moving ahead with digital India, there was a need to empower the
personnel by making technical knowledge available to them at the click of a button.
Officials can blog
“It is not just a static website containing data archives
but a platform where CISF officials can contribute by writing blogs on
professional issues. It has been developed as a repository of knowledge and
contains extensive information on technical learning, CISF manuals, case
studies, technical compendium, etc,” said the official. There is also a feature
in Securitypedia — CISF Tube — where officials can find all videos relevant to
CISF. To streamline the monitoring of field units on a day-to-day basis, they
have developed an innovative dashboard that provides real-time data collection.
The technical research and development lab of CISF has
been actively engaged with national-level research institutions such as the
National Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC) to leverage the technological solutions
they can offer.
To achieve the objective, CISF has been assisting the
National Center of Excellence in Technology for Internal Security (NCETIS) at
IIT-Mumbai in the evaluation of products, said the spokesperson.
