This was my second time taking the course. Nick Jerman breaks down OSINT in a way that’s easy to understand and directly applies to real-world policing. Even having taken it before, I walked away with new tools and updated techniques I can use right away. The material on linking accounts, navigating lesser-known platforms is especially useful. It’s a solid course for both patrol and investigative work.
