The International Criminal Police Organization is making serious efforts to educate its police force in the virtual realm.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n Interpol<\/a> is stepping up its ability to utilize the metaverse to solve crime.\u00a0 Indeed, Interpol will use its already functional virtual reality space to try and solve crime and catch criminals<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n Interpol Secretary General Jurgen Stock believes that crime is becoming far more sophisticated than ever before. Thus, the agency needs to move with the times in order to fulfill its role.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mr Stock said: \u201cCriminals are sophisticated and professional in very quickly adapting to any new technological tool that is available to commit crime.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to sufficiently respond to that. Sometimes lawmakers, police, and our societies are running a little bit behind.\u201d<\/p>\n At present, Interpol is using a secure virtual reality environment for training, collaboration and investigation<\/a>. However, it appears that the organisation is taking the metaverse and its potential utility very seriously now.\u00a0<\/p>\n Indeed, the environment they are working with can only be accessed through secure servers, and enables police officers to simulate crime scenarios in virtual reality.\u00a0<\/p>\n \nInterpol\u2019s metaverse<\/h2>\n
