New training initiatives are being developed to help police tackle internet crime, following criticism that officers lack skills to deal with the growing problem.

The initiatives include foundation training for new recruits and a Cybercrime masters degree, launching next year at Canterbury Christchurch University.
The foundation 'cybercrime' course is provided by Centrex, the Central Police Training and Development Authority, and will be incorporated into basic police officer training, although it is not yet mandatory."
