During the week of May 14 through the 18th, three US Federal Bureau
of Investigation Special Agents will conduct a Computer (Cyber) Crime
Training Course at the Police Academy of the Republic of Armenia
in Yerevan. The attendees include eight officials from the National
Security Service, five from the RA Police and four from the National
Bureau of Expertises.
The Computer (Cyber) Crime Training Course is designed by computer
experts to familiarize law enforcement officers with examples of
common computer crimes and investigative methods. The course will
give the participants instruction on how criminals can use computers
to commit crimes, the risk of "hackers" to computer networks, and
how to trace the computer evidence that criminals leave behind.
The course is funded by the International Narcotics and Law Enforcement
Affairs Office of the US Embassy in Yerevan. US Charge d'Affaires
Anthony Godfrey presented graduation certificates to the participants
upon completion of the course.
This project is only part of the US Government's comprehensive law
enforcement assistance program in the Republic of Armenia. The US
Embassy in Yerevan, through its International Narcotics and Law
Enforcement Section, has funded the renovation of such facilities
as the National Bureau of Expertises, the Police Induction Center in
Kanaker, the Border Guards Training Facility in Yerevan and the Customs
House in Vanadzor. The Embassy has donated computer equipment in all
these facilities, as well as the computer equipment in the Police
Academy classroom where the cyber crime training will take place.
The Embassy is also working with the Government of Armenia to establish
a nationwide, computerized border management information system and
a nationwide computer network for the RA Police. The US Government
provides about $3 million a year in law enforcement assistance to
Armenia to all these facilities.
