The series of workshops on the development of a domestic toolkit for first responders to cybercrime investigations recently launched within the CyberSouth project continued, on the 2^nd of March 2022, with an online meeting for the Algerian authorities.

In the given international context, strengthening of criminal justice capacities to fight cybercrime is more relevant than ever.

Algerian representatives of police and gendarmerie actively participated in the discussions, presenting the structure of their units and procedural aspects on reporting cybercrime offences and initiation of criminal investigations. Recommendations on the harmonisation with international standards followed. An important topic of discussion was the relevance of a domestic toolkit for first responders to cybercrime investigations, concept and responsibilities.

The CyberSouth project will continue to support  Algeria in the implementation of the Guide for first responders to cybercrime investigations and the development of a national toolkit for first responders to cybercrime investigations.
