Officer attends conference on technology crime in Seattle |
||
Police Constable Kelvin Wong King-cheung has attended a three-day Microsoft Law-Enforcement Technology Conference in Seattle, US, which was designed to keep the international law enforcement community abreast of the latest development in technology crime investigation and proficiency in computer forensics. "I'm very much honoured to have represented the Force at the conference. Furthermore, my attendance also illustrated the Force's commitment to fighting technology crime, as well as its confidence in the ability and professionalism of Junior Police Officers," Kelvin commented. Kelvin went on:"As I'm working in the Forensics Section, I'm more interested in those latest technologies and tools in computer forensics." At the conference, top-notch technology crime fighters were busy exchanging views and best practices for winning the battle against cyber criminals. Comparing the Force's Technology Crime Division with other technology crime units worldwide, Kelvin said the division is at least on par with those "cyber cops". Mr Jean-Michel Louboutin of the Interpol opened the conference. His inspiring keynote speech was followed by those of other highly qualified speakers on subjects related to the fight against technology crime. Mr Paul Jackson of the Forensics Section, Technology Crime Division commented: "In today's crime scene, the chances are that you will find some kind of digital evidence. I'm very impressed by the far sight of the Force management. They give the right attention to technology crime. For instance, they have just provided us with about $10 million to upgrade our Computer Forensics Laboratory and Technology Crime Training Suite so that we can further boost our efficiency and professionalism in handling digital evidence. Furthermore, the Force management also provides a big opportunity for our officers to hone their knowledge and skills. This includes sending one Station Sergeant and four Sergeants to various overseas countries to benefit from experiences in technology crime investigation." Officers who are interested in the work of Technology Crime Division should pay attention to its regular recruitment advertisement on the POINT.
