21st Century crime has changed from face to face interaction to cyberspace thugs, robbers, covert hacks, discreet money laundering and basic identity theft.  A basic understanding of social media sites commonly used by criminals can equip law enforcement investigators with tools to investigate, gather intelligence and successfully prosecute offenders and track down wanted persons.  This course will educate participants on the trends, styles, methods and identifiers used by criminals and provide training on the use of social networking to investigate, gather intelligence, locate and prosecute wanted persons. By use of videos, pictures, animations and accounts of events that have occurred, the instructor will show how social media sites have affected and changed our society and forced law enforcement to use new methods and tools.

Topics presented will include:

• The Crisis State
