IROCE programs

IROCE’s programs are collaborative initiatives that deliver practical technical solutions, bridging global expertise with local action. Our team of instructors from specialized units and allied support sectors focuses on providing the best tools to handle and secure material and equipment—ensuring vital evidence is preserved. Digital evidence is crucial, but so is information gathered from those involved. IROCE provides tools to uncover and safeguard this information, building the strongest possible case while making the process swift, transparent, and frictionless for everyone affected.

Our programs and training are continually updated to address emerging platforms, empowering proactive prevention and rapid response. All training can be adjusted to match the best level for delivering the highest quality and greatest benefit. No national or case-specific information is shared in training. All personal information is anonymized, and nothing personal is disclosed—now or in the future. All training content draws from real-world examples, but no information is shared about individual circumstances or national procedures in cases.

IROCE Level 1 Training

First Contact: Initial Securing of Digital Evidence

This training equips you with essential tools and knowledge to initially secure equipment and material, and to guide others when needed—whether you’re contacted by affected individuals or assisting colleagues in relation to devices or content.

This often occurs at the case’s start, when first contact with those involved happens—handling these matters correctly is vital, as it directly influences the quality and integrity of the entire investigation. This training prepares you to support individuals—victims, relatives, witnesses, or others—on the technical aspects of evidence preservation.

You’ll learn to secure critical evidence from physical devices or online platforms without loss, while also evaluating referrals to local resources.

Prerequisites
Participants should represent established organizations, national sector branches, or consultants supporting authorities, social services, legal, or healthcare units. No prior technical knowledge is required, but involvement in sectors addressing child sexual exploitation is mandatory.
