Throughout my 21 year military career, and my 12 year law enforcement career, this was the most informative course I have been to. The information was relevant, it wasn't a "Death by PowerPoint" production, and the websites will be utilized in my daily work setting. Thanks for coming out to San Diego and sharing your expertise.

All great information. Not sure if its something that this class can cover, but maybe a block on how to dig info from the records received from IG and social media that can help with investigations or locating a suspect/fugitive.

This class provides an excellent look into OSINT, with a heavy bias towards options that are free. There was a good mix of information about searching social media to build a case with available public information on a profile along with some help with working through the subpoena/search warrant process.
