EOW revamped with cutting edge tech, friendly tools
2
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Economic Offences Wing (EOW) of the police has been revamped on the lines of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) with stronger technical tools, faster investigations, and direct public access.
The new measures were unveiled during a state-level workshop at the police headquarters in Lucknow.
One of the biggest citizen-friendly reforms announced is easy public access to report financial crimes. Now, 112 (emergency helpline) has been integrated with EOW so that the common man can report cases of Ponzi scheme fraud, stamp fraud, plot/land fraud, multi-marketing fraud, trading, Non-Banking Financial Company (NBFC) fraud, and job fraud.
"The agency is being transformed into a robust, trusted institution, both for professional enforcement and public outreach. Efforts are being made to ensure its officers receive professional expertise in line with the highest national standards," DGP Rajeev Krishna said.
"To enhance the professional expertise of EOW officers, we have organised a day-long workshop with domain experts, including specialists from CBI, Enforcement Directorate and other central agencies.

The workshop focuses on various forms of financial crimes, their investigation nuances, and emerging challenges," he said.
The DGP added that along with training and reforms, public awareness was a key component of EOW's new strategy.
The agency has also developed eight animated booklets to alert citizens about different types of financial crimes they may encounter in daily life.
"These animated booklets are being made available in both soft and hard formats.
The aim is to educate citizens on how they might be targeted and how to stay alert and protected. We expect this initiative to significantly raise public awareness," Krishna said.
Director general, EOW, Neera Rawat said, "The unit is being equipped with cutting-edge tools like a 24x7 Case Management Software (CMS) for real-time monitoring and faster case resolution. A new EOW logo, a citizen-awareness booklet, and a short film on financial crime prevention were also launched to engage and educate the public," she said.
