Level up! Knowledge for police work in a digitized society

What is the knowledge deficit of employees of the Dutch Police regarding digital aspects of police work and how can that be addressed?

Multiple studies have shown that there is a knowledge deficit amongst Dutch police employees with regard to digital aspects of police work. This knowledge deficit hampers the ability of the police to use digital traces in criminal investigations and to effectively fight cybercrime. Although it is clear that there is a knowledge deficit, to date it remains unclear what the knowledge deficit is and to whom it applies within the police organization. This study is meant to specify the knowledge deficit and to advice the police on how to address the problem.
