NW3C was asked to conduct a presentation on Open Source Intelligence Gathering for the Handle with Care Conference programs. The Open Source Intelligence Gathering presentation describes how as criminals use the Internet to communicate and coordinate, it becomes more crucial than ever for law enforcement to leverage this publicly available information. Investigators need to have the skills to locate and act on information as quickly and efficiently as possible, turning ?"information?" into actionable intelligence. This presentation will cover not only mainstream social media sites but also third-party web sites that will allow for quicker identification of pertinent information.
The Handle with Care Conference programs promote safe and supportive homes, schools and communities that protect children, and help traumatized children heal and thrive. HWC promotes school-community partnerships aimed at ensuring that children who are exposed to trauma in their home, school or community receive appropriate interventions to help them achieve academically at their highest levels despite whatever traumatic circumstances they may have endured. The ultimate goal of HWC is to help students to succeed in school. Regardless of the source of trauma, the common thread for effective intervention is the school or child care agency.
