After serving over 10 years as a police officer in a major UK police force and time spent working as a counter-fraud specialist for a government department and as a fraud investigator for insurance companies, Neil has spent 10 years as a full time investigative researcher for a mixture of clients, from insurance companies to law enforcement agencies.

For the last eight years Neil has taught many hundreds of investigators, mostly from law enforcement, in the art of using the Internet as an Investigative Tool. These courses have taken him all around the UK and into Europe.

The course will cover

• Computer security / footprints
• Internet structure and traceability
• Advanced Searching Techniques
• Understand emails as an investigator
• Understand social networking sites as an investigator
