Today’s law enforcement agencies are facing a financial crimes epidemic. Millions of consumers are victims of credit card fraud and ID theft each year resulting in the loss of billions. Human traffickers, fuel thieves, and drug dealers are laundering money using prepaid cards, cash applications, and other digital currencies. The magnitude of the problem is overwhelming and when coupled with the effort involved to work those cases, many agencies choose to let them pass. They don’t understand the problem, let alone how to analyze these cases and prosecute the individuals who perpetrated the crime. Agencies have been slow to make progress, but it doesn’t have to be this way.

Join us to hear ERAD’s Chief Operating Officer, Steve Beckerman, provide insights on the latest trends in payment card, cash app, and digital currency money laundering and important interdiction techniques to help you better apprehend, prosecute, and convict more criminals.

In Japanese, the phrase Ganbatte Kudasai (Please Do Your Best) is often used to encourage people to always do their best in everything they do. What does it mean to do your best? Most think it is to try as hard as you can or do it as well as you can. In most cases that is true, but let’s not limit doing our best to external forces, let’s do our best taking a global approach. In this webinar, we will discuss how to take a proactive approach to do and be our best by utilizing mindset and resilience skills, being the best version of ourselves and living our best life, finding our purpose, capitalizing on our strengths, building our emotional intelligence skills, and much more.

This webinar will build on concepts and techniques discussed in the previous What ICAC Investigators Need to Know about Hiding on the Internet: Proxies and VPNs webinar. But, it is not necessary for an investigator or analyst to have attended the previous webinar to attend, understand, and gain valuable investigative insights from this deep dive webinar.     

Tor is most commonly used to hide one’s identity. But it can also be used by an insider to breach a firewall or Internet filter and is a gateway to what is commonly called the Darknet. While Tor is the most common anonymity network, it is definitely not the only one. And, while Tor Hidden Service servers are the most well-known portion of the Darknet, there are other areas accessible through other networks. You can exchange Child Sexual Abuse Material, discuss criminal tradecraft, buy and sell illicit drugs, find stolen personal identifying information, and negotiate with those offering hacking as-a-service on Dark Markets and in Darknet Vendor Shops.

This webinar is not intended to make attendees experts, but rather to demystify the topic. It includes case studies and a discussion of specific investigative techniques. The webinar will give investigators and analysts the foundation that they need to understand these tools and communities, both how they are exploited by criminals and how they can be used by investigators and analysts.

Our increasingly busy and ever-changing lives cause a lot of stress. Stress is mental tension caused by demanding, taxing, or burdensome circumstances. Stress doesn't just affect our mental state and mood; it affects our physical health as well. That is why it is so important to practice stress management to keep our minds and bodies healthy. Stress management consists of making changes to your life if you are in a constant stressful situation, preventing stress by practicing self-care and relaxation, and managing your response to stressful situations when they do occur. 

This presentation will delve into discussions, tools, and techniques proven to help manage the stress in your everyday lives.

Criminal investigators and analysts need to understand how it is possible for people to conceal and obfuscate their identity and location on the Internet. Two primary methods are through the use of proxies and virtual private networks (VPNs). This ability to hide one’s identity and location on the Internet can be both a challenge and an opportunity. Various methods of concealing identity and location, while engaged in activities on the Internet, provide an opportunity for investigators to engage in covert online research while also providing a means for criminals to engage in surreptitious communication in furtherance of nefarious activities. As technologies, such as digital device fingerprinting, emerge as ways to attribute identity this becomes a topic about which every investigator and analyst must become familiar. This webinar will include an overview of how the web was designed and functions.

A basic overview of IP fingerprinting, browser/software fingerprinting, and device fingerprinting will set the stage for a deeper dive into proxies and VPNs—two of the most common methods used both by criminals and criminal investigators to conceal their identities and locations while engaging in online social networking and online communication.

The dark web has the star quality and luster of a Hollywood movie, but in reality, it’s a den of inequity operated by the technically sophisticated. The more “Googleized” we’ve become as investigators and researchers, the less we understand what’s going on behind the scenes and how to operate in this nefarious world.

This webinar will examine the dark web, the channels used to institute private sales and exchanges, and criminal behavior. Participants will gain a thorough understanding of the dark web—criminality, anonymity, counterfeit products, child pornography, and human trafficking; learn the directory structures of the dark web; and learn dark web languages like Tor and Tails and the lingo of this underworld. Training will include exploring dark web channels for content and finding the resources and specialized search engines for searching against dark web content. Field investigators will understand how to use Tor safely and effectively, while learning the vulnerabilities, and be able to conduct undercover online investigations on the dark web.

Mobile forensics has been a hot topic over the last few years. Apple is constantly strengthening its security measures with things like remote wiping, not allowing the passing of data through lightning cable, requests to enter a PIN after potentially suspicious actions, 6-digit PIN by default, etc., making digital investigations much more difficult. Android platform vendors performed similar steps to secure their devices.

There are, however, some breakthrough advances in the field of both Apple and Android device forensics, such as checkm8, unc0ver, and checkra1n jailbreaks, agent-based acquisition, chipset-specific Android acquisition, etc.

In this session, we will discuss the latest advances in iOS and Android acquisition, including remote acquisition, and speak about the proper process of analyzing acquired data.

What is EXIF data, where can we find it, and how can extracting information from these files aid in your investigations? Social media platforms, web services, and even messaging apps often remove GPS and other forms of vital information from media they process. However, media uploaded to online forums, the dark web, and blog pictures often still contain EXIF data. During this session, we discuss methods to uncover this information, learn more about photos and videos posted online, all in an open source format.

Do you spend days and weeks attempting to find the ‘smoking gun’ buried in the Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs), bank records, and other business documents? Conducting complex financial investigations requires you to capture and analyze data from cross-channel files including cash deposits and withdrawals, wire transfers, bank and credit card statements, and other reports with ‘red flag’ activities.

 The ScanWriter Team will demonstrate a critical anti-money laundering tool that intelligently offers visibility for illicit money movement from even the most sophisticated criminals. The highlights of this demonstration include how to:

• Automate the data capture and enrichment techniques for various financial investigation case documents, such as, SARs, cash withdrawal and deposit slips, business/personal/travelers’ checks, bank statements, and more.

• Unravel relationships between the SARs and the money flow from bank records to build a confident case strategy.

• Create accurate reports with an audit trail for improved data integrity and instant substantiation for all transactions.

• Produce valuable insights through dynamic graphs and share results through effective visual storytelling.

Hundreds of incidents, shootings, workplace violence, other attacks are taking place across schools and communities every year. In response, schools and communities continue to invest their money, time, and efforts into more deterrents, like locks, metal detectors, cameras, etc., but what happens when attackers are undeterred like we’re seeing today? A different approach is needed to effectively collect and connect the dots before the attacks to prevent these undeterrable individuals from executing their plans.

That different approach means identifying the common gaps, silos, and disconnects that allow red flags and warning signs to go unanswered, disconnected, and sometimes unseen by the right people until it’s too late. This webinar will reveal not only what these common gaps, silos, and disconnects are but also share extensive research into incidents dating back to Columbine on why prevention failures continue to occur again and again even though more than enough red flags and warning signs existed.

The pains and costs of failed preventions are soaring and seemingly the number of “undeterrable” at-risk individuals are increasing as well. There is no better time than now to understand what’s possible and working for others right now.

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and the American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) have joined together to develop a presentation specifically designed for law enforcement focused on cyber security and the roles our organizations play in helping to combat this ever-evolving problem. ICANN helps coordinates the names and numbers that are used as unique identifiers in the global Internet. It is tasked with helping make sure that the Domain Name System (DNS) remains stable, secure, and resilient. Carlos Alvarez, Director of Trust and Public Safety Engagement at ICANN, will provide an overview of security threats that target the DNS or that leverage it to attack others, and will share about anti-abuse efforts on the DNS and the domain name landscape that are relevant to law enforcement.

The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) is a nonprofit, member-based organization that supports the operation and growth of the Internet. ARIN accomplishes this by carrying out its core service, which is the management and distribution of Internet number resources such as Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and Autonomous System Numbers (ASNs) within its defined service region: Canada, the United States, and many Caribbean and North Atlantic islands. Investigating fraud and abuse in the registry is of utmost importance accurately and reliably maintaining registration information is core to ARIN’s mission. Number resource fraud threatens community trust in the registry and reduces the value of the registry to those who rely on it for network operations.

Leslie Nobile, Senior Director of Trust and Public Safety at ARIN, will provide an overview of the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) system and how it fits into the larger Internet ecosystem. She will discuss IP address fraud and abuse, RIR due diligence, tools that can help support law enforcement investigations, and RIR cooperation and collaboration with law enforcement.

Justice can be measured and achieved in a variety of ways. In human trafficking cases, there are a number of avenues to justice—and it is paramount to consider both a victim’s perception of justice and law enforcements’ objective to maximize offender accountability. Determining the most effective route to justice requires knowledge of each avenue and the unique statutes, policies, and procedures that shape them.

During this webinar, the presenter will introduce participants to the resource, “Maximizing Justice: Building a Prosecution Review Process.” This resource supports prosecutors and allied professionals in identifying the most effective route to prosecute traffickers. The discussion will highlight how task forces can use this process to conduct investigations more effectively, make charging decisions, support victims, and ultimately proceed to trial.

With caseloads increasing and data storage sizes exploding, computer forensic examiners are feeling the pressure to clear data and close cases quicker. With the ease of access to pirated material and the lack of legal recourse for such media, many examiners quickly clear the material to ensure there is no illegal material and move on. This can lead to missed evidence. We have discovered a way to conceal a video file within a video as a secondary layer. This prevents many utilities from displaying the second or hidden stream to forensic examiners. With examiners relying on their tools to display all relevant media, in this case, examiners may be inaccurately categorizing the files as clear or non-relevant, potentially missing concealed illegal material. We address the solution to ensuring you are not missing this new potential hiding place and provide open source resources to ensure each video file you investigate is truly non-relevant. This webinar is geared towards computer forensic examiners of all levels, however, all criminal justice practitioners are welcome.

Now more than ever, officer health and wellness programs have been a larger topic of discussion within policing. With this increased attention, agencies have an abundance of provider options to offer their employees.

Recorded June 22, 2021

Due to constrained resources and ever-increasing public pressure to "reimagine policing," agencies across the nation are deprioritizing non-violent investigations. In order for the non-violent disciplines to remain relevant, they must demonstrate to leadership how their area of expertise fits into the agency's violent-crime suppression priorities.

In precursor training, we explained how the shadow economy destabilizes our communities and exacerbates the sub-cultures of drugs, gangs, and violence. In this webinar, we will take a closer look at the link between crimes-for-profit and the immediate or subsequent acts of violence they trigger.

Attendees will learn how to:
• Understand how crimes-for-profit generate violence
• Analyze emerging economic trends to anticipate increases in crime and violence
• Create leadership support in relation to their area of expertise and their agency's violent crime reduction program.

In preparation for the advanced policing principles shared in this third webinar, members are encouraged to view requisite webinars: "Shadow Economy 101" and "Disrupting the Shadow Economy Using Motive-Oriented Crime Suppression ."

This webinar presented by subject matter experts will cover the skills necessary to perform advanced cyber investigations using legal, open source, and closed source data. Attendees will learn the concepts and possibilities on how to identify those committing the most heinous crimes.  We will look at a range of techniques for finding the "who done it," from obtaining more evidence to looking through the criminal's eyes and discovering how they chose and researched their victim. We will look at what can be done for crimes committed in public and private spaces. We will look at solutions for finding those selling opioids on the dark web through good, old-fashioned police work.  

We will discuss the interconnections between legal returns, open source, and closed source information by examining each and then walking through case studies where the methods were applied. We will discuss techniques for unmasking people who are using VPNs, TOR, encrypted email services, sock-puppet accounts, and more, followed by a conversation on the way of solving an investigation through the eyes and actions of a criminal, from before and after he/she committed the act.

The webinar will provide a roadmap on how to complete these tasks efficiently and cost-effectively while protecting the civil rights of those we are committed to safeguarding. The NCPTF provides ongoing consultation, assistance, and guidance as needed to implement this training. The webinar is for executives and investigators from senior cyber and homicide investigators to new investigators, prosecutors, analysts, supervisors, and everyone in between.

Money laundering is an integral part of many, if not most, of crime and terror finance. From local crime and tax avoidance, to transnational networks, the source of money will be masked to conceal the source and at the same time serve to make the money usable in the legitimate worlds of business and finance. This requires the professionals involved to exercise expertise, business acumen, and power influence.

This webinar will walk through the basic elements of the money laundering process, describing the phases of money laundering, define money laundering, the element of a money laundering network, areas particularly vulnerable to money laundering, discuss case studies of different types of money laundering, and possible detection/identification of money laundering activities.

The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is intended to protect consumers from fraud and deters the selling of unsafe and stolen vehicles. Vehicle information from state motor vehicle titling agencies, vehicle recyclers, junk and salvage yards, insurance carriers, and individuals is compiled into NMVTIS.  The Law Enforcement Access Tool (LEAT) is the method to which law enforcement can access NMVTIS information along with other vehicle records and history.

This training instructs law enforcement personnel how to maximize use of LEAT by demonstrating features of the tool and providing users with knowledge in searching, retrieving, and utilizing information found. This training will show how to operate all LEAT features, demonstrate how to successfully navigate search capabilities, and provide examples of how LEAT can disseminate information to build a well-rounded understanding of a vehicle’s history. This webinar will inform attendees on how this information can be used to expand an investigation and provide subsequent leads to enhance efforts for a successful case. Attendees will learn sources of vehicle history information contained within LEAT to enable them to locate specific facts and supporting evidence dependent upon their needs. This webinar is intended for law enforcement officers, vehicle crime investigators, crime analysts, and administrators of these offices and agencies.

Being a first responder can be all consuming and start to change the individual's interactions with those important to them. So many of the skills that make people successful as a first responder may actually be damaging over time to their relationships. In this webinar, Dr. Rachelle Zemlok is going to address three things that first responders can focus on shifting from work to home life in order to avoid ruining relationships important to them.

The initial webinar, Shadow Economy 101, examined the critical importance of upholding the rule of law and illustrated how the business-of-crime does intolerable damage to our communities’ economic infrastructure, disenfranchising our most economically vulnerable citizens.

In part two of the series, 30-year Phoenix Police Veteran, Detective Sergeant David Lake (ret.) presents the revolutionary investigative methods he leveraged to combat shadow economic crimes in the fifth-largest city in the nation. His "motive-oriented crime suppression" technique was used to reduce crime (caseload) in less time and with fewer resources than traditional, method-centric approaches. Most importantly, it fundamentally disrupted and dismantled the systems that were propagating criminal offenses without aggravating social conditions by relying on police saturation or mass incarceration.

Through internal research and case studies, attendees will be exposed to:

• Alternative case management concepts
• Techniques for proactive and precision investigations
• New applications of police intelligence and crime analysis

Criminal, terror, and other types of illicit networks all need revenue streams to survive. This involves control of financial flows from the point of revenue generation through goal accomplishment. To some extent, many of these networks will engage in the international money movement processes maintained by financial institutions around the world in order to move the money in an efficient and secure manner.

This presentation will describe the legitimate processes used by illicit networks to move money through financial systems.

We will discuss:

• The role of the central banks and automated clearing houses, how they function and the information they maintain about transactions are valuable in an investigation 
• The "backbone of the financial network," SWIFT messaging
• Correspondent banking
• "The Travel Rule" and information sharing between banks involved in value transfer.

Just a mile away from the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office in Council Bluffs, Iowa, a woman is shot during a nighttime stroll in a public park.  It's the latest in a bizarre series of events, three years into a five-year missing persons investigation.  Closing the case will take years of work, dozens of search warrants, and two weeks of testimony.

This presentation will provide a case study of the investigation and prosecution of a no-body homicide.  Getting to the verdict took thousands of hours of digital forensics to help prove premeditation and tie the killer, who hid themselves using VPNs and proxies, to years of online impersonations of their victim.

Communities are under siege by crimes for profit. When criminals make money, regardless of method (fraud, human trafficking, drugs, counterfeit or stolen goods, cargo, identity theft, or organized retail theft), they create a shadow economy. This illicit activity competes with and erodes the economic stability of our communities. Unique research into the economic impact of the Shadow Economy reveals the critical need to support skilled, targeted investigations, and effective prosecution. Unfortunately, there are ever-increasing efforts to decriminalize non-violent crimes. These policies are fueling the unprecedented growth of the Shadow Economy. In order to defend communities from this threat, investigators will require a counter-narrative to illustrate how these policies are generating more crime, propagating violence, and ultimately leading to urban decay.
