The event, organized by the Bureau of Technology and Cyber Crime, took place in the computer room on the first floor of the DSI building.

            During this training, Mr. Yeo Kok Leong, Assistant Superintendent of Criminal Investigation with the Singapore Police Force, who has over 20 years of experience, graciously served as the speaker throughout the training. Participants learned to track and gather evidence related to the distribution of child pornography, enabling them to identify perpetrators and assist children quickly.

            Additionally, the training emphasized the development of advanced digital operational skills and the exchange of information with international law enforcement agencies to strengthen cooperation in the investigation and prevention of online child sexual abuse cases. This initiative marks a significant step in enhancing the ability of officers to effectively handle crimes involving children in the digital age.
