Non-negotiable prerequisite: SST Digital Threat Assessment® training (completed within the past 2 years)

Advanced DTA builds and expands significantly on the content covered during the prerequisite DTA training. Participants will gain a concrete understanding of how to select relevant digital information found in real-life School Safety / Threat Assessment data gathering scenarios. Working collaboratively through case scenarios based on real-life situations, teams navigate the social media world using familiar and new techniques.

Trainers will share standard operating procedures as participants work towards a final practical assignment by applying tools and lessons learned. Participants will leave feeling confident in their ability to independently establish the Digital Behavioral Baseline of a subject of concern (SOC) and produce a comprehensive report.

YOU WILL LEARN:

• The browser extensions vital to conducting online searches
• Application of advanced online investigative tools
• How to establish the Digital Behavioral Baseline of an individual, school, and community
• Online searches for capturing timely and relevant content before it disappears (e.g., impending bomb threat, school lockdown, cyberbullying)
• How to use social media to find a missing person
• How to address online threat-related behaviors and anonymous threats
• How to use law enforcement guides to request user identifying information (preservation and production orders)
• How to configure dashboards: automating searches to save time
• The lesser-known platforms: Gab, 4chan, 8kun, and kiwi farms
• Current best practice for teams addressing school shooting threats, self-harm, sexting/sextortion, and bullying/cyberbullying related incidents
• Crowdsourcing using Twitter geofencing
• Reverse phone/email search
• How to examine the metadata of photos
• Photoshop/error level analysis
• Useful browser add-ons and extensions
