The working language of the seminar will be English. Please note that currently, some documents related to registration and pre-information are only available in German. If you thus have any questions, feel free to contact us via mail or phone.

The environment for criminal investigations has dramatically changed. Today’s criminals are tech-savvy and regularly misuse modern online tools and platforms for their criminal agenda. A vast amount of crimes today includes online activity, communications, tools and platforms. That means that plenty of evidence can be found through traces left on the internet. Investigators can utilize those same resources, to uncover and collect trails and evidence relating to their cases.

In this unique course you will be taught how to gather in-depth information about your target from publicly available resources, through the discipline of Open Source Intelligence (OSINT). The methods taught will help you discover new leads in your investigation and facilitate your evidence collection. You will also learn to profile a target through Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) and then utilize this profile to engage with the target and elicit information that will facilitate your investigation through methods of Human Intelligence (HUMINT). This course is particularly useful for both open and covert operations, as well as passive reconnaissance and information gathering on specific suspects. This course combines established intelligence collection practices with state-of-the-art technologies, and methodologies.
