High-Tech Crime Investigative Training



SEARCH's High-Tech Crime Training Services is comprised of a team of experts who provide technical assistance and training to local, state, and federal justice and public safety agencies nationwide. Through training classes, technical workshops and hands-on assistance, SEARCH trains and assists investigators in methods to prevent, detect, and investigate the rising tide of computer crime, which is sometimes also referred to as eCrime, cyber crime, or high-tech crime. These crimes include fraud, email threats, online stalking, identity theft, phishing, drug trafficking, cyber terrorism, and child exploitation.

Training courses are offered at our National Criminal Justice Computer Laboratory and Training Center in Sacramento, and at other sites nationwide through SEARCH's outreach training program. These efforts focus on systems security, computer forensics, digital data recovery, and investigations involving the Internet, social networking sites, local area networks, and online child exploitation. SEARCH now offers online training courses that individuals with a law enforcement or justice affiliation can take on their computers at their own pace.

SEARCH's team of experts has developed resource materials to assist investigators who conduct computer-crime investigations. These resource materials include a cell phone investigation toolkit, digital forensics guides, investigative toolbar and information security tools that provide critical operational guidance to practitioners on emerging technological issues in high-tech crime.

Our team of computer crimes investigators and information systems security professionals have conducted hundreds of high-tech investigations and have assisted agencies with hundreds more. They are widely recognized for developing unique, cutting-edge high-tech crime investigative and forensic courses.
