The Royal Thai Police (RTP) are stepping up their cybercrime defence with cutting-edge Israeli technology to effectively tackle digital fraud. Armed with digital forensic tools from the Israeli firm Cellebrite, the RTP are now better equipped to extract critical data from phones, helping them swiftly crack down on online criminals.

 

More than 100 officers have undergone training in the use of this advanced technology, which was showcased at a Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) ceremony on March 21. Cellebrite's technology is already making waves worldwide, supporting police in handling everything from call centre scams to international crime syndicates.

 

Inspector General Thatchai Pitaneelaboot emphasised the importance of such sophisticated tools, given the audacity of modern scammers. “We need digital evidence that can’t be disputed to bring these criminals to justice,” he asserted. RTP’s new capabilities allow investigators to retrieve, analyse, and present mobile data in court. This is anticipated to be a game changer in prosecuting online offenders, making it nearly impossible for suspects to contest digital evidence.

 

 

 

CIB Commissioner Jirabhop Bhuridej noted that the integration of this technology aligns Thai police with global standards in cyber forensics, enhancing their adaptability to the rapidly evolving landscape of digital crime. Officers from 16 divisions have been trained, including 20 professional users, 50 advanced operators, and 940 basic users, ensuring widespread competence in harnessing this technology.

 

The initiative also represents a positive step in international collaboration, with Israeli ambassador to Thailand Orna Sagiv praising the partnership as a great example of technology being leveraged to protect society from digital threats. This technological boost positions the RTP more effectively in its mission to safeguard Thailand against the burgeoning threat of cybercrime, reported The Thaiger.
