OSINT; Open Source Intelligence Exploitation Course

TIME: 9:00 AM - 1:00 PM

LOCATION:Carpenteria, CA; the exact location will be announced to cleared registrants prior to date of training.

AUDIENCE: InfraGard Members, Public Safety (Law/Health/Fire), Terrorism Liaison Officers (TLO’s), Infrastructure Liaison Officers (ILO’s), Private Sector Security, Area Stakeholders, all Critical Infrastructure Sectors, Intelligence Analysts, Intelligence Officers and Private Investigators.

DETAILS: This course identifies and demonstrates numerous free online resources that can aid internet researchers in solving both technical and non-technical investigations. Participants will be shown how to “dig” into the internet for personal information about any target. While popular social media sites are covered in detail (including techniques that legally access some “hidden” content), the presentation goes much deeper into the vast resources available online for researching information. Additionally, instructions for identifying local events in real time will be presented in great detail. This course focuses on the most popular social networks and proper retrieval of located information. These sources can also be used to conduct thorough background checks on potential employees. All resources can be applied to domestic and international investigations.

Registration closes November 7^th. Registration requests made after this time will not be considered. All guests must register on Eventbrite and be approved by InfraGard Los Angeles. Unregistered guests may not attend. InfraGard Los Angeles reserves the right to cancel any registration at any time or refuse entry of any attendee.

Terrorism Recognition, Awareness and Prevention Partnership (TRAPP)

TIME: 9:00 AM - 12:30 PM, Check-in starts at 8:30 AM

LOCATION:Redondo Beach; the exact location will be announced to cleared registrants prior to date of training.

AUDIENCE: This seminar course is designed for anyone who has an interest in preventing terrorism, but specifically anyone in the community concerned about the threat of terrorism or mass violence, especially security managers and supervisors, public safety personnel (law, fire, health, EMS and emergency management), risk managers, small business owners/managers, InfraGard members, and any managers or supervisors who work in activities dealing the public.

DETAILS: TRAPP is a cutting edge 3½ hour training event that puts the power of knowledge and understanding behind the “See Something, Say Something” campaign. While 9-11 was many years ago, more recent attacks in Orlando, Charleston, San Bernardino, Paris, England and even Las Vegas have reminded us that this threat is still considerable, but not just one group, movement or ideology. Thoroughly understanding the warning signs of violent extremism and pre-incident indicators of a potential threat are just as essential as understanding what it takes to prevent crime, fires and other threats. Terrorist attacks are horrible, but too many times we have discovered they were also preventable. Suspicious activity was simply missed or not recognized, and the reporting process wasn’t completely understood. TRAPP is about recognizing the warning signs, being aware of the threat and helping prevent deadly attacks.
