The Cyber Investigation Team

The Cyber Investigation Team specialises in solving complex cases of cybercrime and technically sophisticated digital crime and conducts the corresponding investigative procedures. The tasks are varied and exciting: they range from malware analyses and reverse engineering to tracing cryptocurrencies, investigations in the dark web, information gathering in the digital space, as well as preventive activities to strengthen cyber security. The team works closely with the Cybercrime unit of the public prosecutor's office.
Furthermore, the experts support other investigative services and the uniformed police in classic offences with a digital connection. Prevention work in the field of cybercrime and digitalised crime is also part of the team's responsibilities.
This demanding activity requires highly qualified specialists. The team consists of both civilian IT specialists and police officers with appropriate training. Together they form a competent and committed unit in the fight against cybercrime.
