Thought the class was a good mix of slides with information paired with real life examples. Good info a on tips and tricks when using trackers or phone pings. Really enjoyed the presenter and felt he was very relatable.
Yellowstone Narcotics and staff are very professional and provide high quality information and a pace that is easily digestible with little to no experience in this realm.
It was an informative class that helped me with knowledge related to phone pings, social media warrants, dark web, etc… this class helped broaden my knowledge and the instructor was very helpful!
Austin is an excellent instructor and I learned some new ways to further investigations.
