Overview

Who is this course for?

Internet Intelligence & Investigation (I3) enables the user to harvest a rich source of accurate and timely data left by individuals within the digital connected world. The fusion of OSINT with existing conventional methods of intelligence gathering provides the investigator with a formidable tool.

This 5 day course is for staff who work in law enforcement within intelligence or investigative roles.

Due to the level of intrusion, the requirement of covert support and the duration of investigations expected from advanced opensource operatives, there is an expectation of an increased likelihood that the threshold for Regulation of Investigatory Powers (RIPA) authorisation will be met.

Relevant and associated legislation and oversight will be discussed in detail.
