In an era where cybercrime continues to evolve and digital evidence becomes a cornerstone of modern investigations. That’s why we organise the Cybercrime.3 – Technologies (CP.3) conference scheduled for 26th–27th March 2025 at the Police Academy in Szczytno, Poland.

The upcoming event offers an ideal opportunity for Polish law enforcement agencies (LEAs) to explore improvements required in modern policing. CP.3 is set to bring together key stakeholders to address challenges and opportunities posed by digital crime.

The conference continues the efforts of the annual scientific conference PTXXI-2024, which took place in May at the Polish Naval Academy in Gdynia.

The conference caters for representatives of law enforcement agencies, state administration, financial and insurance sectors also interested in gathering and processing digital evidence. Through exchanging experiences, we aim to enrich participants’ knowledge of modern technologies and good practices to prevent and combat cyber-related crimes.

Among the speakers, in addition to representatives of law enforcement agencies and government administration, there will also be experts in cybersecurity as well as companies providing the latest organisational and technical solutions to support the identification, prevention, and combating of this type of crime.

As with previous editions of CP events, we expect roughly 150 participants- ranging from technical to strategic positions. Participants will have the opportunity to learn through presentations and dedicated workshops aimed for specific groups. Exhibition stands will provide an additional space to connect with industry suppliers and research projects.

Due to the event’s international nature, the organisers provide simultaneous translation from English to Polish.

Think acquisition is simple? Think again. TPMs are gatekeeping encryption, IoT devices are breeding like cyber-rabbits, and even your fridge is now a potential crime scene. Welcome to 2025, where digital forensic acquisition is a battlefield, and you need the right tools, skills, and sheer cunning to collect evidence effectively.

This five-day course is your hands-on, practitioner-led guide to mastering the modern acquisition landscape. Every topic includes purpose-built, interactive practical exercises, using appropriate low level tools (yes, including SDRs and chip-off methods, because sometimes you have to get that hands-on).

What’s on the menu?

– The Generalised Acquisition Framework – ensuring scientific rigor (already successfully used in cases worldwide!)– Verification & Advanced verification – because just acquiring isn’t enough anymore– Memory acquisition – RAM, volatile storage, and those sneaky artifacts– Servers, networks, and cloud – because the evidence isn’t always on a single device– Web & social media – OSINT meets forensic extraction– Mobile phones & portable devices – everything from burner phones to encrypted nightmares– Unusual devices – smartwatches, medical devices, even games consoles– CCTV – cracking DVR systems & video forensics– IoT – Washing machines, fridges, toasters, and rogue vacuum cleaners included– Data in transit – capturing the evidence before it disappears– Wireless acquisition – untangling the chaos of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more– Low-level hardware acquisition – chip-off, JTAG, ISP, and beyond– Vehicles – because cars are computers now– Equipment interference – when you need to get extra creative– ISO and FSR compliance strategies

Where’s the fun happening?

– Work in our custom electronics lab (170+ seats)– Get hands-on in a large-scale technical teaching lab (170+ seats)– Experiment in an anechoic chamber – because sometimes you need a Faraday cage for science

Taught by practitioners who are also academics, this isn’t just theory, it’s real-world, trial-by-fire, hands-dirty low level learning.

Cost: £3,700 per studentBursaries available (but limited!)

If you want to stop acquisition from being the nightmare that keeps you up at night, this course is for you!
