Binance has rolled out a global training program to equip law enforcement with skills to tackle a rise in Web3 crime. The initiative kicked off with recent sessions in Thailand and South Korea.
It aims to bridge the gap between traditional policing and the fast-moving world of blockchain. Jarek Jakubcek, Binance’s Head of Law Enforcement Training, leads the effort. Agencies will learn how to trace crypto flows and work across borders more effectively.

Law Enforcement Meets Web3
Traditional police work relies on physical evidence, witnesses and clear legal borders. Web3 crime happens online, across many countries and often in secret.
Offenders use complex technology to hide their tracks. Binance sees a need to bring these two worlds together. The program teaches officers how to follow blockchain trails while still using proper legal steps.
What Makes a Crypto Cop?
A true crypto cop knows how blockchains work and how to use new tools. Training covers hands-on examples and real cases. The best agents often use crypto themselves. They learn to think globally and act fast.
They also work closely with prosecutors and private partners. This team approach speeds up investigations and helps catch bad actors.
Success in Operation Incognito
Binance also played a key role in a major sting that shut down the Incognito Market, one of the biggest dark-web drug markets ever. The US Department of Justice and Taiwanese agencies led the effort.
Authorities arrested 270 people in 10 countries, including vendors, buyers and site administrators. Binance’s data and blockchain analysis helped investigators link transactions to individuals, speeding up arrests and evidence gathering.
Training in Thailand and South Korea
In Bangkok, Binance held the Asia Pacific Law Enforcement Day. Eighteen speakers from police and private firms spoke to officers from seven countries. They shared tips on trust building and Web3 security.
In Seoul, over 600 participants joined one of the region’s largest crypto crime events. Experts from Binance and former Korean police officers showed how to use blockchain tracing and cross chain analysis. Attendees included the Korean National Police Agency and US law enforcement stationed in Korea.
Bridging Public and Private
Binance provides technical data and tool access that many agencies lack on their own. Private sector partners help train officers on the latest crypto trends.
In return, law enforcement teams share case studies that improve industry defenses. This two-way partnership strengthens the whole ecosystem. It also builds trust between regulators, tech firms and police forces.
Steady Hands on Fast-Moving Tech
Web3 moves at a rapid pace, and new tokens and protocols emerge every week. Crypto cops must keep learning to stay ahead.
Binance plans more regional events and online workshops to maintain momentum. Continuous education helps officers spot new schemes early and protect the public.
As digital crime grows, the lines between the virtual and real worlds blur. Binance’s training program shows that no single group can face these threats alone.
By joining forces, law enforcement and private experts can close gaps in skills and tools. The rise of the crypto cop may be just the start of a stronger, smarter way to fight cybercrime worldwide.
