Description
The project is built on (acted) criminal actions that create multiple digital traces, later used in datasets to support exercises for many ECTEG course materials or other courses developed for Law Enforcement in the EU Member States.
Due to the ambitious and innovative nature of the project, Law Enforcement experts are involved in delivering a range of “episodes”: each scenario includes a crime to be investigated, engaging a diverse set of devices and technologies. The “episodes”-approach facilitates the process and allows improvements for each new episode, using the lessons learned.
Aims
- Provide materials for developing practical exercises in future ECTEG courses and other courses developed by third parties.
- Create traces in the scope of a realistic criminal behaviour, including some “noise“.
- Create traces on different types of devices, so that exercises may focus on the highest levels of Bloom’s taxonomy (encouraging the students to “connect the dots”, analysing the recovered traces, validating the findings by identifying potential checking methods).
- Develop a methodology that can be applied to future materials.
Project partners and contributors
The project contributors are Belgian Federal Police (Belgium), French Police (France), Hellenic Police (Greece), An Garda Síochána (Ireland) and as synergies are part of ECTEG’s DNA, EACTDA and the LAGO Project are involved as observers to improve the process and build a path for future controlled sharing of the created use cases.
