ABSTRACT

Introduction. In today’s world, with the rapid development of the Internet and information technologies, crimes in the field of computer information are becoming a pressing issue. Law enforcement officers face difficulties in investigating such crimes due to the lack of specialised knowledge and skills. The relevance of the study lies in the need to improve the readiness of law enforcement agencies to combat cybercrime and develop effective methods of responding to new challenges. Methods. As part of the study, an information security tool was developed, known as the “Checklist of essential skills for investigators of crimes in the field of computer information” (hereinafter referred to as the Checklist). Two groups of cadets from St. Petersburg University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia participated in the study, with one group being trained according to the traditional academic course working program and the other one – with an emphasis on the skills specified in the checklist. Pearson’s χ² criterion was used to analyse the results. Results. The results of the study showed that in the experimental group, 69,57 % of cadets achieved positive results in mastering the necessary skills, while in the control group, this figure was only 27,27 %. The results of the study emphasise the importance of systematic training of law enforcement officers in the field of cybersecurity and the advisability of implementing the Checklist in practice.
