The four-day conference opened Thursday with an 8-hour certified criminal defense investigator course that provided certification for those who participated. Afterwards, attendees were treated to a reception and the opportunity to meet and network with industry colleagues, event sponsors, and the many vendors in attendance. Over the next three days, there were presentations from speakers covering a range of investigative topics, and other seminars providing training for the gathered investigators.
The diverse range of topics under discussion guaranteed that there was something of interest for every attendee. Speakers focused on issues that included the use of criminal profiling in investigation and interviews, ethical standards, and whistleblowing. Credential standards were discussed, as well as strategies and expectations for marketing investigative services. Other speakers focused on everything from sex crimes investigation and prosecution to witness security and other executive protection needs.
There was even an awards ceremony to honor an intelligence and investigative professional for his three decades of service in the military and Central Intelligence Agency. His work helped the U.S capture high-value terrorist leaders and thwart potential terror attacks both in the United States and abroad. The ceremony presented the honoree with the inaugural “Theodore Roosevelt Award for Exceptional Service.”
The role of science and technology was prominently featured as well, as speakers addressed the importance of forensic document examiners and legal concerns surrounding drones. Other tech topics focused on the use of polygraph technology, internet and email investigations and countermeasures.
Cyber-related concerns were also addressed. One seminar focused on hot topics like ransomware, cyber fraud and cyber-defamation. Cryptocurrencies were also discussed- including issues related to the tracking of digital currency transactions and ways to defeat crypto anonymity, along with subjects ranging from phishing attacks to electronic mail tracing, and virtual private networks.
The event was, by every objective measure, a resounding success. Attendees included not only private investigators, but law enforcement personnel, forensic experts, legal professionals, regulators, and others with an interest in this challenging industry.
ISS founder George Kozhar was in attendance as well and was proud to represent the finest investigative firm in New York City at the city’s first major national conference for the investigative industry. The event was a unique opportunity for information-sharing, continuing education, and networking with other investigative professionals committed to serving their client needs in the most professional manner possible.
