Previously in Cambodia the lack of training, resources and equipment resulted in few crimes against children being provided with the required level of service. The CPU provides training on the collection and reporting of ‘best evidence’ to aid successful prosecution of offenders. However, many local police do not have access to basic equipment such as digital cameras or computers.
Digital resources
Smart phones / tablets
The ability to capture good quality crime scene images and send to the CPU can greatly increase the identification and apprehension of a perpetuator.
Digital cameras
High quality forensic images can greatly improve the chances of a successful prosecution of child abuse offenders.
Computers / laptops
With the commencement of our Internet Crimes Against Children unit, there is need for computers and laptops to help us combat, prevent, detect and deter crimes being committed against children in Cambodia and across Southeast Asia.
