From Snapchat to Cash App, and everything in between, this course ensures our law enforcement is up to date with today’s trends and technologies. This course teaches an overview of how to submit search warrants to various private companies, provides a basic understanding of crypto currencies and the dark web, and introduces students to various law enforcement resources and technologies available. Attendees will learn the difference between WhatsApp and Signal, how phone pings work and assist in law enforcement investigations and even obtain knowledge of credit card fraud schemes and methods of investigation.
