The partnership would also see Truecaller providing technical support to the Delhi Police in conducting cyber safety training for police personnel and vulnerable sections of society - including women, first-time internet users and college students. Truecaller and Delhi Police will also continuously share critical information through their social channels to equip citizens with knowledge of good practices to create a safer digital communication experience. Truecaller is scheduled to conduct the first CyberWise training session under the partnership for Delhi Police personnel on March 18th, later this week.

Truecaller has been bringing verified government contacts to its platform for Indian citizens. This would help the users in avoiding reaching out to an impersonator. Impersonators often steal the money of the users by pretending to be officials inside government organisations.

Pragya Misra, Director of Public Affairs, Truecaller, said, "We are excited to partner with Delhi Police to forward our joint mission to improve safety in digital communication by empowering mobile users to become responsible Digital nagariks. Truecaller users will be able to access verified numbers of Delhi Police officers through our Government Directory Services for better delivery of citizen services and tackle impersonation, one of the key causes leading to frauds."
