We are pleased to inform you that the NATO Military Police Centre of Excellence (NATO MP COE) organises the pilot edition of the NATO Military Police Digital Evidence Collection and Handling in support of  Investigations Course (previously the NATO MP Cyber Crime Investigation Course - CCIC) that is taking place on 19-23 SEP 2022 in Bydgoszcz, POLAND.
 
INTRODUCTION
Upon request from the Military Police Community of Interest, the NATO MP COE held a Cyber Crime Investigation Conference in 2018, and subsequently a Cyber Crime Investigation Workshop in 2019. As acknowledged by participants there was an existing education and training gap regarding MP cyber crime investigation capabilities. During the final stage of the course development, to reflect the content of the course more accurately, the name was changed. As a result, the DEHIC is ready for students.
 
COURSE DESCRIPTION
The primary intent of the course is to prepare NATO MP Officers to collect and triage media that is gathered through proper collection of evidence from crime scenes focusing on battlefield digital forensics. The examination of the media will provide information that can be used to support the continued criminal investigations. Furthermore, the data collected from these artefacts will be transformed into information that can be ingested into the analytical phase of the intelligence cycle. The curriculum of the training is planned to be composed of both theoretical (lectures) and practical (syndicates) content. The combination of academic knowledge and real life lessons constitutes a solid educational offer for present and future first responders, analysts and other MPs who will be assigned to investigation cells.
 
TARGETED AUDIENCE
The target audience for the course are primarily individuals recently assigned or planned to be assigned to NATO or Partner Military Police Investigation Units; experienced investigators without prior cybercrime practice; and first responders with basic crime scene preservation knowledge.
The seat capacity is limited to 12 students without rank limitations. Nations requesting more than one participant, are kindly asked to prioritize one of them. A maximum of 2 places per state will be allocated.

Online registration will be available from 15 JUN 2022 to 15 JUL 2022 via the MP COE Smart Event Application (SEA) for each participant it is mandatory and is an individual responsibility. SEA is an on-line system which complies with the personal data protection security policies.
