THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMUNITY THANKS EDMONDS COMMUNITY COLLEGE FOR HOSTING.

Prerequisites for Attendance
The target audience will be Criminal Investigators, Intelligence Analysts, and Intelligence Specialists from the federal, state and local law enforcement community who are tasked with performing intelligence gathering, investigations and operations against known and unknown cyber criminals. Students should possess a working knowledge of computers, computer-related programs and the Internet.

Students will be issued hardware and software associated with the investigation of cyber crimes committed upon the Internet and networks.

Course Overview
The study of the cyber criminal can be one of the most complex topics facing the law enforcement professional today and will require a multidisciplinary approach supported by technical expertise that was not needed with traditional crime. In this innovation age that law enforcement now faces, we must look at more than just the behavioral and social sciences. We now have to include engineering and technology to assist investigators in bridging the gaps. To control, or at least combat this type of crime, it will be essential to examine the behavior of the cyber criminal. The Internet Investigations Training Program will focus on investigations and operations centered on the use of the internet and its many communities that are being exploited day to day.

Digital technology has opened the door for various areas of criminal activity. The most prevalent are intrusions within government and private sector computer systems. Denial of Service attacks are a hackers dream and the use of the internet has warranted more pornographic activity as well as giving criminals added stalking capabilities. Credit card information is easily compromised and so are individuals’ identities and financial history. The Internet Investigations Training Program (IITP) provides a basis of training to perform audit trails, sensitize individuals of the dangers of online surfing and serves as a resource tool to minimize hacking activity. Legal and ethical considerations are discussed for all phases of Internet investigations. The IITP will expose students to the fundamentals of Internet architecture and services and cover methodologies of gathering evidence both real-time and offline from client and server systems connected to the Internet.

The Internet Investigations Training Program (IITP) will give the criminal investigator or analyst, the basic tools and training they need to begin conducting cyber-based investigations.
