Additional Director General of Police (ADGP) Kuldeep Sharma said, "We have already liased with NASSCOM who have agreed to train Gujarat Police officers and help us set up this facility. Once the TTC is ready, the training, under NASSCOM's faculty will begin in batches," Sharma said. He said he has already sent a letter to the Joint Director, Gujarat Police Academy to start work on the TTC, adding that it would be complete in the coming six months.

The move comes as Gujarat lacks in-house training facility and has so far relied on institutions outside the state for the same. Sharma said, "So far, there are no training facilities in the state for such exclusive training and we usually relied on experts from outside to come and lecture or teach officers." He said the main idea behind starting this cell was to keep police officers up to date about the changing trends criminal activities, like cyber crimes and forensic science.

He said after undergoing this course, police officers would also learn to handle crime scenes with greater care. "Though we have a full-fledged Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Gandhinagar, the TTC will prepare officers in handling a crime scene like how to handle evidence, what to touch and what not," stated Sharma. The police officers will also get some elementary training in learning to use computers and the latest technology to their benefit as well as understanding how to gather digital evidence.
