e-First : First responders e-learning package

Project description

A first responders self-paced e-learning package focusing on essential IT forensics and IT crime knowledge for first-line police officers without IT expertise. It is localised in EU languages and kept up-to-date, allowing to:

  • Identify and seize potential electronic evidence, including “live data” forensics.
  • Gain awareness on digital forensics, cybercrime, the Internet and its services, the Internet of Things, encryption and decryption, dark web, cryptocurrencies, and other topics.
  • Assist victims of crimes facilitated by using new technologies when taking the complaint, starting a criminal case, and providing first help.
  • Advise on how to use the NOMORERANSOM tools and other non-commercial solutions.

The deliverable solves the ever-challenging “pre-requisite” topics required before residential training while providing a common sound reference for all LEA first responders and attendees to advanced-level IT forensics courses.

With an expected audience of over 1.5 million law enforcement first responders in Europe, a deliverable e-learning course package is available free of cost to all LEA, with additional organisation or country-wide related content.
