Develop the ability to assess the behavioral elements of a child's disappearance in relation to abductor profiles. Analyze the typical traits, motivations, and behaviors of non-familial child abductors. By applying general knowledge of these behavioral patterns along with circumstances of the abduction, better direct your investigations towards the likely suspect profile. This method is designed to construct a profile of an unknown offender and, in cases with suspects, to focus the investigation on the most likely offender.
This presentation highlights the partnership between Public Information Officers (PIOs) and Tribal Law Enforcement Agencies in missing child investigations. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration and effective communication practices to improve response efforts and public engagement. The presentation also outlines challenges, best practices, and strategies that support child protection efforts.
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.
