In particular, teachers and cadets of DSUIA joined the information and analytical support of the disclosure and investigation of war crimes (gathering information from OSINT). Another result of cooperation is the preparation of a bibliography, comparative tables of SOCTA – EUROPOL questionnaires regarding areas of criminal activity and documented organized criminal groups.
