Technology Talk: FBI Cyber Investigator Certification Program – Building a Foundation for Law Enforcement

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has brought together the expertise of techtalk-logoCarnegie Mellon University (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania), the FBI’s Cyber Division, and the International Association of Chief’s of Police (IACP), to develop the new Cyber Investigation Certification Program (CICP). The self-guided online program is available to all federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial (SLTT) law enforcement personnel. All users need to access the program is an account in the FBI’s Law Enforcement Enterprise Portal (LEEP), and officers can take the training as their schedules permit. Each separate course in the program has an assessment at the end of their training, and, upon successful completion of each course, participants will receive a course certificate. The first course is currently available, and other courses are in planning and development.
