The United States Secret Service has opened a regional cyber security training program in Tallinn, Estonia. The Baltic Cybercrime Forensic Training Program (CFTP) is designed for law enforcement personnel from across the Baltic region to develop new methods of investigating and prosecuting cyber criminals.
The U.S. Ambassador George P. Kent, the leading state prosecutor of Estonia Dilaila Nahkur-Tammiksaar, the Acting Rector of the Academy of Internal Security Ingrid Vetka, and the Director of the College of Police and Border Guard of the Academy of Internal Security Christian Jaan opened the training program. In his speech, Ambassador Kent emphasized the importance of regional law enforcement cooperation in countering cyber crime.
“We are happy to open this important cyber course, which will not only strengthen the partnership between US law enforcement and Estonian law enforcement, but also cooperation in the Baltic countries. I am confident that this training program will provide a valuable opportunity for law enforcement personnel to improve their knowledge and skills in combating cybercrime, and ultimately make the region safer and more secure.”
The U.S. government has a long-standing commitment to working with its partners to prevent cyber crime and promote global cyber security. The Baltic Cybercrime Forensic Training Program is just one example of this commitment, and the U.S. Secret Service is proud to support it. By investing in the training and education of law enforcement personnel, the U.S. government is helping to build a safer and more secure future for all people.
