About the event

Cyber Explorers: Intro to Cybersecurity + Dark Web Insight + Escape Room
Intro to Cybersecurity + Dark Web Insight + Escape Room Experience. Hosted by Walsall College in partnership with ROCU Cyber Crime Unit

About this Event

Cyber crime is one of the fastest-growing criminal threats in the UK. The Regional Organised Crime Unit (ROCU) Cyber Crime Unit works to investigate major cyber incidents, disrupt Dark Web offenders, and help communities strengthen their defences.

This engaging half-day event at Walsall College brings together ROCU experts and interactive activities to give you:

  • A clear introduction to cybersecurity and how criminals exploit vulnerabilities
  • An insight into the Dark Web and the challenges it poses to law enforcement
  • A fun, team-based cyber escape room activity where you’ll solve puzzles, crack codes, and test your problem-solving skills

You don’t need any prior technical knowledge — just curiosity and a willingness to get involved.


What you’ll gain
  • An understanding of key cybersecurity principles and risks
  • First-hand knowledge of how the ROCU Cyber Crime Unit combats cyber threats (rocu.police.uk)
  • A unique look into the Dark Web and its role in modern crime
  • Problem-solving and teamwork skills from the escape room challenge
  • Practical tips and resources to improve your own online safety

Who should attend
  • Business owners and leaders
  • IT teams and digital security managers
  • Staff with responsibility for data protection, compliance, or risk management

No technical background required.
