INSTRUCTOR-LED TRAINING (5 days - City & Guilds Assured)
LAW ENFORCEMENT PROFESSIONALS ONLY
The Digital Tactical Advisor (DTAC) Strategy (5-day) training is tailored for individuals who have already completed the DMI or DTAC Investigator training courses or possess extensive prior expertise in digital investigations. The focus is on honing your strategy writing within the realm of serious crime investigations.
During this intensive course, you will learn how to create comprehensive strategy logs for Senior Investigating Officers. You will cover the considerations that need to be taken into account at various stages of an investigation, enabling you to provide strategic guidance with absolute precision.
You will work through a practical scenario and at each stage learn how to expertly document and present your advice and digital evidence in a format that is not only coherent but easily digestible for all stakeholders involved. The ability to convey complex information with utmost clarity is an indispensable skill that you will master during our programme.
The course will also build upon previous learning of digital investigations by delving into more advanced telecommunications and Digital Forensics techniques.
