Technology Threats and Trends Against Law Enforcement

SEE REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS BELOW

Description

The DCJS Virginia Center for School and Campus Safety, in partnership with the Northeast Counterdrug Training Center (NCTC) and the Washington/Baltimore High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA), is pleased to announce a two (2) day training session on Technology Threats and Trends Against Law Enforcement.

Technology saturates our everyday lives. Yet, so many technologies are being developed with the specific purpose of targeting police officers or hiding criminal activity. This is a unique and eye-opening class for prosecutors, law enforcement personnel and anyone working in the judicial system who wants to learn more on how technologies are being used (or misused) to commit crimes, avoid or detect investigations, and to conduct counter surveillance. Not only will this class examine and demonstrate how individuals are misusing these technologies, it will also reveal simple, inexpensive ways to mitigate their success as well as provide some investigative tips. Although dealing with technology issues, this course is instructed in a manner that both the novice and the expert will understand and appreciate. The course utilizes a combination of lecture, multimedia examples, case studies, and live demonstrations involving the attendees.

Who Should Attend?

This training is being offered to sworn law enforcement, campus police officers and approved military personnel. Agency identification may be required.

Partial In-service Credit

Partial In-service Credit (PIC) for Virginia law enforcement officers will be available.
