Enhancing the Capacities of the Police Cyber Crime Unit
The Cyber Crime Unit has benefitted from over €525,000 co-financed by the EU under the ISF (Internal Security Funds) programme. The project included the procurement of mobile multi-purpose vehicles, search kits, workstations, improved forensic equipment and the latest IT solutions for the storage of data. The Cyber Crime Unit is now better equipped to cater for the ever increasing workload, increasing the efficiency of the Unit and producing better results during arraignments. This Unit is now also connected to the INTERPOL’s Child Sexual Exploitation Database for which members of the Cyber Crime Unit have attended a 1 week training by INTERPOL at the GHQ. This project followed the investment of €700,000 from National funds to set-up a larger and modernised Cyber Crime Unit office.
