Cyber Security/Cybercrime The SPMU’s Adviser on Organized Crime is a member of Europol's European Cybercrime Training Experts Group (ECTEG), which meets twice per year to discuss cybercrime trends and training issues. On 2-3 June, the SPMU hosted a “Regional Workshop on Computer Forensics and Digital Evidence for Police, Prosecutors and Judges in Southeastern Europe” in Belgrade. The workshop gave police supervisors, appellate level prosecutors and judges an introduction to computer crimes, computer forensics, and cyber evidence. The event brought together 25 criminal justice experts from Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The training was provided by cybercrime investigation experts from the Republic of Serbia’s Ministry of Interior, the Republic of Serbia’s Ministry of Justice, the Prosecutors Association of Serbia, and the Cybercrime Research Institute (Cologne, Germany). The training gave the participants an introduction to computer crimes, computer forensics, and cyber evidence. The course was designed for police managers who supervise cybercrime investigations, prosecutors who have the responsibility of handling appeals related to electronic evidence, and judges who deal with cyber evidence and Internet crimes. The Workshop was funded by the Norwegian government and was implemented in co-operation with the OSCE Mission to Serbia’s Rule of Law Unit. From 10-14 October, the SPMU organized a one-week week “Regional Training Course on Advanced IT Forensics, Network Investigations, and Forensic Computer Skills”. The training was organized for 18 law enforcement investigators from Albania, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia. The training was provided through the German Federal Criminal Police Office (BKA) in connection with the 7th OLAF European Computer Forensic Training in Wiesbaden, Germany. The advanced level training was designed to enhance the skill level of investigators who deal with highly complex computer crimes with an emphasis on IT and computer forensics. The course was a direct follow-up to a regional, three-week cybercrime training course that was conducted in Belgrade in November 2010. During the November course, the participants were also trained as trainers. Upon completion of the BKA/OLAF Advanced Course, the participants returned to their countries and passed the new skills along to their colleagues. The training was accredited by IACIS (International Association of Computer Investigative Specialists) and the German BKA. The activity was funded by the United States of America. From 14-18 November, the SPMU, in co-operation with the University College Dublin (UCD) and Europol, facilitated an advanced, one-week “Regional Cyber-Crime Training Course” in Belgrade. The training on “Using Linux as an Investigative Tool” was provided by instructors certified by the UCD and Europol’s ECTEG. The course is academically accredited by the UCD. The course was a follow-up to a three-week regional training that was conducted in November 2010 in Belgrade. The students for this advanced course were the same police officers from Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro and Serbia, who successfully completed the foundation level training in Belgrade and the advanced BKA training in Germany. The first phase of the Linux training consisted of six weeks of on-line training. This enabled the participants to learn at their own pace during their off-duty time. The on-line training began on 19 September. The one-week classroom training took place in Belgrade. The training course was funded by Finland. 19
