4.8 Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine performance was 8.8. The National Police requested the PCU to continue the re-training for additional 150 officers in 2017. To help Ukrainian authorities address new challenges in the prosecution of human trafficking, the PCU continued piloting a course on combating IT-facilitated human trafficking crimes during a five-day training for anti-trafficking and cyber police officers. The course has been incorporated into the curriculum of state re-training programmes for antitrafficking police officers, and has also become a part of the state training programme for cyberpolice officers. To further ensure a co-ordinated and streamlined approached, the PCU gathered representatives from the National Police of Ukraine, along with prosecutors and judges from Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, Lugansk, Poltava, Sumy and Kharkiv regions, for the first in a series of roundtables on investigating and prosecuting IT-facilitated human trafficking crimes held in Kharkiv on 21 and 22 September. Participants focused on increasing their common understanding of the links between human trafficking and cybercrimes and requested the PCU’s support in the development of a similar training course for prosecutors and judges. Cybercrime In 2016, the PCU helped develop four-month training courses for cyber police inspectors and special agents. In March, the PCU conducted a training of 16 trainers at the Kharkiv State University of Interior, where the cyber police are trained. This training included external specialists in law, banking and information technology. The course itself launched immediately thereafter, with 84 recruits completing the training by July. Based on this positive experience, the National Police requested that the PCU lead the development and implementation of the re-training programme for re-attested cyber police officers. During August and September, the curriculum for cyber police training was adapted into a 98-hour, two-week training programme. To continue its focus on practical policing training, the PCU ensured that every subject had at least 50% of their training dedicated to case studies, role plays, practical excesses and discussions. 100 Following the training of the newly recruited cyber police officers, the PCU selected top-rated trainers and engaged them in the re-training process. 200 folders with training materials were printed and delivered to Kharkiv University of Internal Affairs, where the re-training was launched in October. As of December, 80 inspectors and 4 special agents received training on their respective areas, with 96% of trainees scored “passed” or higher. The training assessment showed that on a scale from 1 to 10, the average trainee score for quality of training materials was 8.2, and the average score for trainers’ performance was 8.4. The re-training is expected to continue in 2017 and cover all re-attested in-service cyber police officers. In 2016, PCU helped Ukrainian authorities better prepare for increasing risks to critical infrastructure and cyberspace. In September, the PCU organized a training on malware persistence methods, Java-based threats and related issues. Throughout the year, the PCU organized additional online trainings for law enforcement officers on the criminal law aspects of cyber-terrorism. Counter-Terrorism The PCU assisted border guards in combating terrorism by developing a training curriculum and a manual for Fighting Terrorism by Using Risk and Criminal Analysis course, which were handed over to the National Academy of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. Furthermore, the PCU organized a training-of-trainers on the subject, which was delivered by experts from the Polish Border Guard. As a result, thirty officers from the risk and criminal analysis units of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and the Security Service of Ukraine, along with professors from the National Academies of the State Border Guard Service and the Security Service enhanced their skills and knowledge on fighting terrorism by using risk and criminal analysis during a two-week course at the Border Academy in Khmelnytsky. The training course focused on the applicability of analytical tools to identify and counter terrorist threats, and involved interactive and practical assignments with analyses of terrorist attacks and applied exercises on managing crisis situations.
