Cyber means on the interwebz

Police already spend way too much time dealing with people offended by comments made on social media, be it twitter or facebook.

I assume this cyber training is how to do deal with these easy cleanup rate + good for stats 'hate crimes' a bit faster as cyber does just mean something on the internet to them. They will be taught how to make requests to service providers and how to be a voyeur over your ICR (Internet connection records) but I doubt there will be any actual real cyber crime training.

The police need to stop spending limited resources attending obvious joke twitter comments or the 5th time a persistent caller calls about a comment they take offence too, even when its not directed at them, and that old age saying 'catch real criminals'.
