Pakistan’s National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has connected police emergency 15 call systems in several provinces and major cities to improve access to cybercrime reporting services.
The initiative is aimed at making it easier for citizens to report online fraud, digital harassment and other cybercrime-related incidents through existing emergency services. Complaints received through the linked systems can be forwarded to the relevant authorities for further action.
The move is expected to provide citizens with an additional way to seek help when facing cybercrime. Instead of relying only on separate reporting channels, people will be able to approach the emergency service they already know and use.
According to the agency, the initiative is also intended to improve coordination between police departments and cybercrime authorities. Better communication between the relevant institutions could help complaints reach the appropriate officials more efficiently.
Cybercrime has become a growing concern as more people use digital platforms for communication, shopping, banking and other everyday activities. Online fraud, account-related scams, identity misuse and other forms of digital crime can affect individuals and businesses across the country.
The NCCIA’s latest initiative focuses on simplifying the complaint process and improving support for people affected by such incidents. Linking emergency call systems with cybercrime reporting services could also help authorities respond more effectively to complaints received from different areas.
The agency said the efforts are part of measures to strengthen cooperation and make cybercrime services more accessible to citizens.
The initiative covers police emergency 15 systems across various provinces and major cities, providing an expanded channel for reporting cybercrime and online fraud. Further details about the cities included in the system and the implementation process were not provided in the available information.
