Armenian law-enforcement agencies participate in cybercrime investigation training course

Yerevan /Mediamax/. A number of Armenian policemen, investigators and public prosecutors took part in the Practical Cybercrime Investigation training course organized by EU Advisory Group.

“Bringing a criminal to justice is rarely easy or straightforward. In crimes involving computers, the situation is even more challenging. The evidence can disappear at the push of a button and tech-savvy criminals can hide their activity behind curtain after curtain of false trails across continents even though they live right next door. Law enforcement has to respond to modus operandi that are changing and developing on a daily basis. This training will help contribute to the national cybercrime effort in protecting the people of Armenia,” Advisory Group Policy Advisor to Law Enforcement Steven David Brown.

The participants were familiarized with practical processes for detecting cybercrimes and the basics of digital forensics for operational officers and investigators. They were also introduced to technical tools and methods for computer network and internet investigation.
