Examine a non-confrontational, rapport-based approach to interviewing suspects in cases of stereotypical child abduction, where sexual assault or homicide may be involved. Rather than relying on predetermined themes, investigators will learn how to influence suspects to provide their own justifications or excuses --creating a psychological pathway for the disclosure of detailed information about the crime. The emphasis is on establishing trust, listening carefully to the suspect's account, and presenting evidence through a sincere, non-threatening approach. This method aims to help investigators uncover the truth while avoiding aggressive tactics that could lead to resistance or false statements. Participants will learn how to balance active listening with strategic contradictions to get to the truth.

Technology has transformed how we investigate crime scenes, and mobile devices are central to this evolution. This webinar will explore how cell phone data—collected through cell site dumps, area dumps, and real-time device “pinging”—can identify suspects, locate witnesses, and support or refute alibis. We'll explain how signals like Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other device emissions—digital DNA—can be documented and analyzed to identify unknown individuals at the scene. Whether in a crowded public area or a remote location, these invisible digital breadcrumbs can provide key leads in investigations.

From the initial 911 call to the courtroom, real-time crime analysis and rapidly evolving technology are transforming how law enforcement solves crimes and delivers justice faster than ever before. Join us for an engaging webinar that explores the digital tools, forensic innovations, and data-driven strategies that are reshaping modern criminal investigations — both today and into the future. With the belief that we are all digital detectives; this session will take a closer look at the latest advancements powering today’s investigative efforts. As we work to increase solve rates and better serve victims in our communities, the integration of technology into every phase of an investigation is proving essential. Attendees will gain insight through real-world case studies and practical examples that highlight how these tools are being used in the field to solve crimes more efficiently, accurately, and with fewer resources.
