May 24–28, 2027 | Pensacola, Florida
Hosted by the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office
The future of criminal investigations is changing. Are you keeping up?
For the first time ever, three nationally recognized law enforcement training companies are joining forces to deliver an incredible five-day training experience focused on some of the fastest-evolving areas of modern policing.
Yellowstone Narcotics, Operation // Node, and Badge Ops are bringing together three experienced instructors, three specialized courses, and five days of practical investigative training designed to take your capabilities to the next level.
Criminals are constantly adapting. They’re exploiting social media platforms, hiding behind anonymous online identities, and taking advantage of emerging technologies to facilitate illegal activity. Today’s investigators need more than traditional investigative techniques to stay ahead.
This is where modern investigations meet real-world experience.
Throughout this five-day training collaboration, students will explore undercover social media operations, artificial intelligence, sock puppet accounts, open-source intelligence (OSINT), and advanced online investigative strategies. Each course offers a unique perspective, building a comprehensive investigative skill set that can be applied to narcotics investigations, organized crime, human trafficking, child exploitation, and countless other criminal investigations.
