The training for all of these officers/staff has been a variation of the 4-Day Cyber-Crime Course. This is delivered within a class-room learning environment and encompasses learning packages.
3. Detail on the amount spent on each course.
Essex Police do not hold this information. Classroom based training would be over a 4 day period with one trainer.
Essex Police can neither confirm nor deny that it holds any other information relevant to this request by virtue of the following exemption:
Section 23(5) Information supplied by, or concerning, certain Security Bodies
Section 23 is a class based absolute exemption and there is no requirement to evidence the harm or consider the public interest.
Confirming or denying the existence of whether any other information is held would contravene the constrictions laid out with Section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in that this stipulates a generic bar on disclosure of any information applied by, or concerning, certain Security Bodies.
Every effort is made to ensure that figures provided are accurate and complete, however, Essex Police systems are designed primarily for the management of individual cases and not primarily for the production of statistical information. Please note although data can be extracted from a number of sources via database queries the results are subject to inaccuracies inherent in any large scale recording system and could also be inaccurate as a result of free text entry fields. Care should be taken to ensure data collection processes and their inevitable limitations are taken into account when interpreting data.
