<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has developed two online e-Learning courses
on all types of stalking. The “Cyber Crime: Cyber Stalking” course includes cyber
stalking, non-cyber stalking and harassment. The “Stalking and Harassment” course
(which was released in April 2014) deals specifically with stalking and harassment
offences.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The CPS maintains a central record of the
number of employees who have been trained on the law on stalking by way of the e-Learning
courses. 1581 of its employees in post on 23 October 2014 have completed all elements
of either of the e-Learning courses in the period between 1 November 2012 (the month
when the Cyber Stalking e-Learning module was revised to include the new stalking
offences) and 23 October 2014.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>In October 2014 the CPS
issued follow-up, face-to-face training material on the Stalking and Harassment offences.
It can be used flexibly at a local CPS level; accordingly, its delivery is not recorded
on a central database.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Although there are no current
plans for new training products to be launched, the CPS will continue to train its
staff in this critical area of work.</p><p> </p>
