STRATEGIC ALLIANCE CYBER CRIME WORKING GROUP In 2006, the five-eyes Strategic Alliance Group was formed to develop the most effective ways to collectively fight against the most pervasive and damaging global crime problems. Within this structure are five active sub-groups which include the Cyber Crime Working Group (CCWG).
The CCWG discusses and analyses current and future global cyber crime threats and develops collaborative initiatives to best address these threats.
The Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA) in the UK hosted the first Strategic Alliance Group meeting in June 2006. Since this time meetings have been held in Wellington, New Zealand and San Diego, USA. A range of new outcomes emerge from each of these meetings which include areas such as information and intelligence sharing, training initiatives and public awareness strategies.

(CTINS) - Cybercrime Technology Information Network System – Annual Conference & IT Crime Investigation and Training Seminar
The CTINS Conference & IT Crime Investigation and Training Seminar is an annual event hosted in Japan by the National Police Agency (NPA) of Japan for law enforcement agencies in the Asia region. This conference provides an opportunity to network with other LEAs in the Asia region who are responsible for the conduct and management of technology enabled crime investigations in their respective jurisdictions.

CTINS Cont…….
An excellent forum to discuss intelligence sharing arrangements and develop strategies to work closer together in areas such as:
new and emerging technologies facing LEAs in the Asia region; legislation; development and delivery of training; and ‘real-time’ exchange of operational and intelligence information on a
police-to-police basis; and strengthening cooperative relationships.
The CTINS network is a secure 24 hours a day information technology network developed by the NPA of Japan to exchange high tech crime information with LEAs from China, Hong Kong, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. The AHTCC now has a single connection to CTINS which provides both the AFP and AHTCC with the ability to securely exchange and request information on high tech crime issues with operational practitioners and managers on a 24 hours a day basis.
