Undercover Social Media Investigations

This 2-day course teaches law enforcement professionals how to actively engage and investigate individuals utilizing social media as a means to commit criminal activity. Yellowstone Narcotics instructors were the very first individuals in Montana to utilize this technique for drug investigations at the state level. Our instructors have developed these techniques over the past eight years and now instruct this course in multiple states. Our investigative methods are proven to be legal, effective, and simple to understand.

Students can expect to leave this course and be fully capable of employing these techniques immediately upon graduation. In this course, you will learn how to set up undercover accounts online, best practices when communicating with suspects, legal issues, and be provided multiple real life case examples of previous investigations. Students will also learn the various techniques on how to continue their criminal investigations once a suspect is identified online and presented with various options of different ways to conclude their investigation. This course will cover everything from initial contact through prosecution. If you are not currently operating online, our course will show why you should be.
