NATCHITOCHES – Northwestern State University and the Many Police Department will offer training in using the latest technologies in criminal investigations May 11-12. Topics will include the use of payment apps and investigations, credit card skimming and cloning, GPS trackers, phone pings and cell phone content warrants. Law enforcement search warrant data portals will also be covered, as well as open course car rental information, use of AI to alter facial images and introduction to Dark web and Bitcoin.
“The partnership between NSU and Many PD allows us to facilitate advanced training in highly specialized areas for local law enforcement,” said Dr. Daniel Gordy, assistant professor of Criminal Justice and English. “This training partnership also allows students to engage with these courses, concurrently providing networking and mentorship opportunities for our current/future law enforcement officers.”
The 15-hour course is $349 and will take place in Alost Hall on the NSU campus. Training is being provided by Yellowstone Narcotics, a law enforcement resource that provides up to date training on the most current crime trends and methods of investigation techniques available. NSU will host Yellowstone in September for a Child Endangerments Investigations course.
The course is supported by NSU’s Office of Economic Development and University Advancement.
