Cyber 201 for Law Enforcement was created in direct response to the overwhelming success of Cyber 101. After last year’s workshops, officers and agency leaders told us clearly: “We need more. We need deeper. We need advanced training.” Cyber 201 delivers exactly that.

This one-day, OPOTA‑certified advanced workshop for 8 assignment-based CPT hours is built for law enforcement professionals who want stronger skills in the most challenging areas of digital crime—advanced cryptocurrency investigations, online child exploitation, evidence handling, and emerging fraud threats. The class blends detailed instruction with scenario-based exercises, hands-on demonstrations, and real case examples to help participants immediately
apply what they learn.

Participants will gain advanced, practical skills to:

• Conduct in-depth cryptocurrency investigations using blockchain forensic tools
• Work complex child exploitation and trafficking cases with modern digital techniques
• Collect and preserve physical, mobile, and IoT evidence without contamination
• Identify, understand, and respond to new fraud trends affecting Ohio communities
• Leverage local, state, and federal cyber resources to support active cases

Workshop Modules Include:

• Advanced blockchain tracing and crypto analysis tools
• Digital forensic workflows for predator tracking and multi-jurisdiction coordination
• Hands-on evidence handling and chain-of-custody strategies
• Fraud trend analysis, policy updates, and frontline response best practices
• Interactive scenarios simulating both patrol-level and detective-level decision-making

Participants will leave with an advanced digital resource toolkit, case study templates, and access
to specialized training materials and software demonstrations.

Who Should Attend
Cyber 201 is ideal for experienced patrol officers, detectives, cybercrime unit members, agency
leadership, special investigators, and community liaison officers involved in prevention and
digital safety initiatives. Cyber 101 is not a prerequisite, but Cyber 201 is designed for personnel
who want to go deeper into the most complex cyber threats facing law enforcement today.

Cyber 201 equips agencies with the expertise needed to protect communities from rapidly
evolving digital crime—strengthening response capabilities from the first call to case resolution
