Скачать или смотреть How India Built Its Police Think Tank — Samir Datt Explains the Model

In this second and final part of our interview, Policing TV speaks with Samir Datt, CEO and Founder of Forensics Guru, about his wider contributions to Indian policing and digital investigation.

Samir shares insights into his work as a Fellow of the Indian Police Foundation, a national think tank driving innovation and policy reform across India’s policing landscape. He also discusses his role as President of the Digital Investigators Association, and the importance of standardising digital forensics practices across jurisdictions.

We also see a snap shot from the Indian Police Foundation Annual Day "Reimagining The Police For India's Economic Development" held in Mumbai 20th September.

Together, we explore the structure of the Indian Police Service (IPS), how officers serve both state and national roles, and how retired professionals continue shaping the future of policing through research, collaboration, and knowledge exchange.
