The PCG Curriculum Capacity Building and Writing Workshop was attended by representatives from the Coast Guard Education Training and Doctrine Command (CGETDC) Leadership and Doctrines Development Center (LDDC). The 3-day activity was comprised of a doctrine-writing capacity-building talk, a capacity-building workshop on curriculum concepts, principles and practices, and a writing workshop for data security and digital evidence curriculum. Reg Sevilla Sibal, PCG P2 Advisor for Capacity Building Measures in Digital Evidence, served as resource person for the workshop for curriculum and framework development, and facilitator for the curriculum writing workshop.
