A delegation from the Kyrgyz Republic visited the Institute of Digital Forensics Research of the Law Enforcement Academy of the Republic of Uzbekistan and familiarised itself with its activities. At the Institute, specialist training is closely integrated with scientific research into digital evidence, forensic examinations and support for investigations.

The Institute’s educational, methodological, research and forensic activities encompass the development of specialised knowledge and practical skills among professionals in investigating cybercrime, identifying, recording and examining digital evidence. Modern digital forensics methods are applied both in the educational process and in forensic practice.

The Institute conducts computer forensic examinations and examines mobile devices and electronic data. It also provides practical assistance to law enforcement agencies in conducting digital investigations and combating cybercrime.

A separate area of practical training is the Dark Web training laboratory. There, trainees learn to search for and record digital evidence on hidden internet networks. The cyber laboratory also serves as a base for courses and research on investigating crimes committed using cryptocurrencies and the Darknet. Thus, personnel training at the Institute is directly linked to working with digital evidence and providing practical support for investigations.

During the visit, the delegation of the Kyrgyz Republic became acquainted with the Academy’s comprehensive approach to digital forensics, which brings together personnel training, scientific research, forensic activities and practical support for digital investigations.
