CyberSEE, CyberSouth+ and Octopus Project – CYBERKOP Action

Investigating online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA) is one of the most challenging and sensitive topic as it requires highly specialised skills from law enforcement, given the vulnerability of the victims and the complexity and seriousness of the offences involved. To strengthen capacities and improve co-operation in tackling this threat, the regional training on investigating OCSEA is organised in Pristina, on 14–15 April, followed by a regional meeting on 16 April.
