Irecently attended the Investigating Bribery andCorruption course delivered by the EconomicCrime and Fraud Training Academy of the City of

London Police. The aim of the course was to providethe skills and knowledge necessary to conductinvestigations into allegations of bribery andcorruption. It also sought to provide anunderstanding of relevant legislation, identify howintelligence can be obtained and developinvestigative and asset recovery strategies.

The course was delivered over a three day period.The trainer was clearly an expert in the field andwas able to easily keep the classengaged and interested over thethree day period. He did this byusing a wide range of learning toolssuch as presentations, expertspeakers, video clips, case studies,quizzes and group discussions.

Although I come from a non lawenforcement background I found thatI was able to keep up with the paceof the course and a priorknowledge/law enforcementexperience was not assumed or takenfor granted. There were attendees from government,law enforcement and the private sector on the courseand we were all able to contribute and learn fromeach other’s expertise. I found it particularlyinteresting learning how a police officer wouldapproach investigating a case of bribery and

corruption and also how a private sector companywould try to implement adequate procedures toavoid finding itself the subject of an investigation.Being able to hear both views was a uniqueopportunity and gave me a great insight. The traineractively encouraged the class to engage in debatesand challenge each other’s ways of thinking.

I found the case studies particularly interesting. We were split into groups and provided with anopportunity to test the knowledge we had gainedfrom the earlier sessions. There were someinteresting debates and the case studies were able to

draw out any areas where the classrequired more clarity. We wereencouraged to think aboutalternative intelligence sources andto learn from mistakes from previousinvestigations.

We were provided with some veryuseful material to take away with usso that we could refresh ourmemories at a later date and I wasable to make some good contacts. Iwould encourage anyone with aninterest in bribery and corruption to

attend this course as it really does cater for all andprovides an excellent learning opportunity.
