INVESTIGATING USING  
SOCIAL MEDIA and THE INTERNET

____________________________________________________________ 
 
Cyber space has created a new world for criminals and a new tool for investigators.

Effective law enforcement officers are learning all they can about this world and how to use it to their advantage.

21 st century crime has changed from face to face interaction to cyberspace thugs, robbers, covert hacks, discreet money laundering and basic identity theft. A basic understanding of social network sites commonly used by criminals will equip law enforcement investigators with tools to investigate, gather intelligence and successfully prosecute offenders and track down wanted persons.
 
This course will educate participants on the trends, styles, methods and identifiers used by criminals and provide training on the use of social networking to investigate, gather intelligence, locate and prosecute wanted persons.
 
By use of videos, pictures, animations and accounts of events that have occurred, the instructor will show how social networking sites have affected and changed our society and forced law enforcement to use new methods and tools.
 
Training will include:
 
  • Introduction to Social Networking
  • Psychology of social networking users
  • Criminals and social media
  • Active social media investigations techniques
  • Utilizing free web services to enhance investigations
  • Maintaining covert accounts
  • Background and Recruiting
