Internet Crime

Volume 455: debated on Thursday 11 January 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what steps he has taken to raise public awareness of internet crime in Northern Ireland. (110091)

Internet crime is borderless and therefore the PSNI is currently working with other UK police forces, through ACPO, to identify coordinated activity among individual forces in this area of crime prevention.

In addition the PSNI arranged training in October from the Child Exploitation on line Protection (CEOP) to designated Community Safety Officers within each District Command Unit. This training enables officers to give advice to local schools and youth organisations etc. about internet safety and the inherent dangers associated with this medium.
