"The anonymity of the Internet, as well as instant access to countless potential victims, has created incredible challenges for law enforcement who are on the front lines attempting to stop predators," said Suthers.
During the training, attendees will learn basic information about the Internet and how to transfer traditional investigative techniques to the technological field. Topics discussed during the training included how to investigate websites, domain names, IP addresses, email messages, and chat and instant messages, as well as examining Internet/PC forensics and making sense of USB storage trace evidence.
"Criminals are constantly finding new ways to target our children and our sense of security," said Suthers. "Today's training is one more way we can better arm law enforcement and school officials with the most current tools to prevent criminals from finding new victims."
