The goal of this effort is to educate Academy students and staff members on important trends and advancements in modern policing.
38621This webinar focused on cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime after the previous one in October on preventing the use of the internet by terrorists. It was presented by three specialists from the European Cybercrime Training and Education Group, the INTERPOL Cybercrime Directorate, and the OSCE Transnational Threats Department (ECTEG).
The webinar examined the primary security risks and threats posed by this type of crime, outlined the most prevalent forms of cybercrime and cyber-enabled crime, and underlined the most significant obstacles for criminal justice actors in countering cybercrime. It also highlighted current developments in cybercrime and suggested possible solutions to lessen the hazards that they bring in the future.
Sami Ryhänen, Head of the Strategic Police Matters Unit at the OSCE Transnational Threats Department, opened the webinar by stating that law enforcement must be aware of both current and upcoming trends and problems in the changing criminal scene. Actors in law enforcement can only be successful in preventing and investigating crime, as well as safeguarding the people and communities they serve, via such understanding.
More than 100 cadets and Academy lecturers attended the occasion. The forthcoming webinars will center on subjects including intelligence-led policing, countering gender-based violence, encouraging meaningful involvement of women in law enforcement, utilizing technologies to fight human trafficking, or new and emerging risks of illicit drug trafficking.
