International Cooperation In Digital Policing

The Nordic Computer Forensic Investigators (NCFI) is a unique team focusing on education and research in the area of digital policing, supporting the fight against cybercrime through a range of capacity building solutions. We combine theory and practice to deliver education and training which enables law enforcement practitioners to investigate and analyse digital crimes.

NCFI was borne out of a Scandinavian partnership in the early 2000s but has since grown to a partnership spanning more than 10 countries across Europe. We have a strong and well-established collaborative relationship with national and international law enforcement, government agencies, police academies/university colleges, and industry. With a commitment to open-source approaches to enhance learning and driven by demands for professionals who hold an understanding and skillset to perform tasks related to cybercrime, digital forensics and digital policing we cover several important areas of study and research.

It is our aim to harmonise digital forensics and cybercrime education by proliferation of knowledge, skills and practices to increase the capacity building efforts of the law enforcement community. PHS-NCFI is actively involved in national and international projects related to digital policing, and a member of several international associations and groups.
