Ankara, Turkey (January 26–30, 2026) — The Turkish National Police (TNP) hosted a specialized training in Ankara focused on strengthening investigative capabilities in cases involving the sexual exploitation of children online. The training brought together 21 investigators and digital forensic examiners from the Turkish National Police and the Turkish Gendarmerie, a specialized military-law enforcement agency responsible for public safety and criminal investigations across Turkey.

Sponsored by TNP, the five-day program reflected Turkey’s continued commitment to combating child sexual abuse material (CSAM) and identifying offenders who target children through digital platforms.

Child Rescue Coalition was proud to support this training effort led by Director of Training, Jay Houston and instructor, Kevin West, two highly experienced instructors who have worked alongside law enforcement agencies around the world.

This training reflects the leadership of the Turkish National Police and its continued efforts to prioritize child protection. By investing in advanced training for investigators and forensic personnel, TNP is helping strengthen national capabilities and ensuring that those responsible for exploiting children online are identified and held accountable.
