Interpol Launches First Global Police Metaverse In New Delhi
The International Criminal Police Organization, Interpol has announced the launch of the first police metaverse experience. The new virtual world will allow users to visit the offices of the institution in Lyon while improving their understanding of metaverse-related crimes. It also opens up the possibility of imparting various training programs for users in different areas.
Interpol Launches Metaverse World
The metaverse is being connected for more than just recreational
and commercial objectives. The International Criminal Police Organization,
Interpol has announced the launch of what is claimed to be the first global
police metaverse experience at its 90th General Assembly in New Delhi.
The objective of this experience is to help in the enforcement
of law and order worldwide. Interpol members will have the opportunity to
experience the metaverse in different forms. Madan Oberoi, executive director
of technology and innovation at Interpol, believes that the metaverse platform
is likely to be the key to the future of policing in virtual worlds.
Oberoi stated:
"The metaverse has the potential to transform every aspect
of our daily lives, with enormous implications for law enforcement. But for
police to understand the metaverse, we need to experience it."
Interpol is concerned about the new kinds of crimes that can be
committed in the metaverse, including crimes against children, data theft,
money laundering, financial fraud, counterfeiting, ransomware, phishing, sexual
assault, and harassment. It will be challenging for the organization as these
crimes can be committed in a virtual world that is different from the real
world.
The World Economic Forum has also expressed concerns about the
safety of young people in the metaverse. It has made recommendations on how to
maintain a clean ecosystem.
Metaverse Virtual Learning
Interpol is looking forward to imparting various training programs in the metaverse. The opportunity to provide instructions to police officers around the world from a central hub. The platform will offer remote training tasks that can be more immersive and engaging for the students.
During a live demonstration, Interpol delivered a course on
travel document verification and passenger screening that virtually transported
users to an airport.
The metaverse is expected to be a relevant part of remote
learning in the future. A survey presented by Ipsos in May revealed that 66% of
those surveyed expect metaverse-powered virtual learning apps to
"significantly change" people’s lives in the next ten years.
