For the first time, the National Police has a state-of-the-art cybercrime forensic laboratory. This will assist the police in conducting more extensive digital investigations and obtaining precise and quick results.
"Thanks to cutting-edge tools, employees of the General Police Inspectorate will be able to analyze and manage cyber threats in real time, further protecting our country's digital space. They will be able to collect, analyze, and use digital evidence in investigations for quicker identification of cybercriminals," stated the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a press release quoted by IPN.
Additionally, forensic experts will have access to continuous training programs. Through realistic simulations, they will learn to detect and counteract cyberattacks, preparing for complex scenarios that could affect the country's digital infrastructure. Specialists will be able to test security measures in a controlled environment, as cyber threats are becoming increasingly persistent.
At the same time, the improvement of law enforcement's technical capabilities will facilitate the exchange of information and experience with law enforcement agencies in the European Union and other partner countries, as well as the fight against transnational crimes.
The laboratory was opened and equipped with financial support from the European Union, which allocated 1.1 million euros in non-refundable aid. The laboratory was inaugurated under the EU4SecurityMoldova project, funded by the EU and implemented by CEPOL (European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training).
