Investigative Techniques are Continually Evolving
“I got assigned an online harassing file. For the first time in my career I felt lost and unprepared. Real world I can deal with… but the Internet…”
Traditional police investigations are rapidly evolving. Today, criminal investigations often involve significant use of both the Internet and social media. Are you prepared to deal with these types of files?
Hands On Lessons Using Actual Case Files
At Cyber Training International we show you how to investigate online files through “hands on” lessons and techniques that were used in actual files. You are gaining experience and knowledge from investigators who have “been there, done that” – not a generalist instructor who has a passing interest in the Internet.
Increment Compatible Program
Does your organization require you to take increment courses? CTI’s program has been designed to be increment compatible: Internet Investigations for Investigators – Level I and Level II meet all typical law enforcement department requirements (35 hours with a final exam). Check with your organization for more information.
Who Can Take These Courses?
CTI courses are specifically designed for anyone who investigates crime and needs to enhance their online investigative skills. As the Internet and social media play a bigger role in investigations, it is important for investigators to know how to gather, preserve, store and present evidence. Whether you are a police investigator, private investigator or government investigator these courses and techniques will work anywhere in the world. Investigators who have taken this training repeatedly tell us that they become the “go to” people in their organization for Internet-related files.
Whether you investigate Internet fraud, gang activity, or just want to know more about your target subject, these online training courses will help you become a more experienced investigator.
Courses are designed for:
- Law Enforcement
- Government Investigators
