and a 2-day training skills development module that is designed to enhance the skills of trainers who will deliver the previously listed 2 courses in country (2012). 2Centre 3.14 The Study, Co-operation between law enforcement, Industry and Academia to deliver long term sustainable training to key cybercrime personnel, undertaken in 2008 deals with many of the issues that are covered by this Group. The study made recommendations to improve the development and delivery of sustainable; standards based, scalable training to the law enforcement community. This report led to the development of the EC funded project to create national centres of excellence in cybercrime training, research and education (2CENTRE). A number of national centres have been created in Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Romania, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Others are in the process of being formed. It is not suggested that this is a perfect fit for Commonwealth countries; however it may be of interest to examine work that has been carried out46. GPEN 3.15 GPEN operates under the auspices of the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP). It provides password access on the IAP website for all IAP members (individual members and authorised officers of organisational members) to a secure system through which it can enhance international co-operation in the e-crime arena of member countries (by identifying contacts and exchanging information); reduce duplication of training and realise significant cost savings as countries will no longer need to devise their own training material from scratch; develop appropriate training courses to train prosecutors who will be able to train their colleagues; encourage the sharing of best practice and dissemination of lessons learnt; improve the exchange of crucial information and data quickly and efficiently, especially in relation to crimes with an inter-jurisdictional dimension; and encourage all jurisdictions to develop a co-ordinated approach for dealing with e-crime that supports effective prosecutions and promotes the principles of the Budapest Convention. 3.16 The GPEN initiative is developing a database of e-crime prosecutors from around the world; a forum/message board for the exchange of queries and advice; a virtual Global Ecrime Prosecutors College, a database of e-crime training courses and presentations; a library of e-crime material, i.e. legal guidance; and an industry page for partners of the International Association of Prosecutors (IAP). An approach for training in the Commonwealth 3.17 Training cannot be dealt with in isolation but it is an essential part of an overall solution. Many organisations have committed resources to the development of strategies for addressing cybercrime and the development of legislation. It is hoped that they will appreciate the need for the financing of training initiatives. 3.18 A model which draws on the experience already gained and that would suit Commonwealth countries in planning their approach to training would have a number of stages: (i) 46 an examination of the legislation in place to assess whether there are adequate substantive and procedural provisions to enable effective action against cybercrime and to allow the admission of electronic evidence in judicial proceedings; See www.2centre.eu/sites/default/files/LEA-ISP%20Training%20Strategy%20v1.0.pdf 44
