GLACY+ project team and INTERPOL Capacity Building and Training Directorate delivered 8 week-long E-Evidence Boot Camp (EEBC), an online training course on electronic evidence to 47 law enforcement officers ‎and criminal justice authorities from 12 priority countries of the project (Benin, Brazil, Cape Verde, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, Paraguay, Senegal, and Sri Lanka).

EEBC combines self-paced learning, web forum, and weekly online webinars where participants exchange knowledge and ideas. The syllabus is compact with recorded lectures, readings, and weekly assessments on key aspects of computing, information technology, digital forensics, and examining emerging technologies such as drones and Darkweb from a forensic perspective. The Glacy + project also contributed directly to the course by delivering a webinar focused on international cooperation and the use of tools and procedures under the Budapest Convention.

By regularly delivering more EEBC to the priority countries next year, INTERPOL and the Council of Europe will continue to cooperate in the global action on cybercrime, particularly on capacity building for criminal justice authorities. Tackling the challenges of legal proceedings of digital information and establishing a foundation for successful admissibility of electronic evidence under judicial rules and procedures, GLACY+ supports sharing a profound understanding of the authenticity, reliability, and integrity of the electronic evidence among its priority countries. ‎

The next edition of the E-Evidence Boot Camp is expected to take place in the second quarter of 2022.
