Training Police Officers. Obtaining Data From Digital Devices Report

In the context of present-day developments, figures saved and produced via modern gadgets and devices, may contribute to the clarification of the happening in the process of investigation. It may provide essential information on the guilt of a particular individual, his or her appearance, and the sequence of events in general (“Obtaining data from digital”, 2021). Therefore, there is the necessity to train police officers on the basis of digital investigations and digital forensics. The focus of the project is police officers in Abu Dhabi, and the police investigations should be over a period of a year. The objective is to clarify the influence of digital evidence and legislation background.

Work Breakdown Structure

In order to provide workers with comprehensive training, it is essential to divide the project into a breakdown structure. In general, the whole working process may be divided into four stages, which are depicted in Figure 1. They are preparation of the course, attracting the participants, providing the information, and giving licenses (The Police ICT Company Ltd., 2019). As a project manager, I should establish appropriate objectives, covering all the details of the working process. In addition, I should take into consideration possible risks, such as the likelihood of lockdown conditions, and control the execution. The last duty regards project closure, conducting in-depth analysis, and leading lessons learned.

Project Planning Phases

The work breakdown structure matches the project planning phases and milestones, which is demonstrated in Graph 2. The first one is the preparation stage, which should be started on 1^st July 2021 and finished by 1sy August 2021. The second one is attracting participants and potential clients via different methods, which should be completed within 25^th August 2021. The third step is conducting the course, both theoretical and practical parts. The practical part should begin on 16^th September and finish on 30^th September. This phase covers 1-30 September 2021. The closure of the project should be held on 1^st October 2021 by giving licenses. Therefore, the whole project should cover 3 months, from its beginning to the closure.

Resources

In order to address the potential challenges and supply a course of high quality, it is vital to use an outside source for preparing and conducting the training. Pa Consulting Group (2015) provides an in-depth insight into the digital investigation, covering all the legislation details. The article “Obtaining Data from Digital– New Guidance Released” (2015) supplement the information by using practical cases. The last informative source could be the work The Police ICT Company Ltd (2019), which covers a range of services, which may be useful for digital forensics. Consequently, applying these sources may contribute to presenting a comprehensive picture in training.
