PhD-Led Instruction

Day 1: The Academy Briefing & Crime Scene Basics

Theme: “Eyes Open. Mouth Shut. Mind Sharp.”

Objective: Transition from “student” to “investigator” by mastering the scientific method of observation and the fallibility of human memory.

  • The Intake: Official induction with Field Manuals, ID Badges, and the signing of the Investigator’s Code of Ethics.

  • The Eyewitness Fallacy: A live staged intrusion exercise to demonstrate the unreliability of memory and the necessity of written field notes.

  • Latent Evidence Lab: Technical training in dactyloscopy (fingerprinting) including dusting, lifting, and identifying Loops, Whorls, and Arches.

  • Crime Scene Sketching: Hands-on instruction in Triangulation Mapping to create accurate, geometric “Bird’s Eye View” diagrams of a scene.

  • The “Missing Person” Profile: Introduction to Private Investigation and OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) through a passive social media reconnaissance challenge.

  • Daily Incident Report: Practical application of the day’s findings into a professional investigative summary for dismissal.

Day 2: Digital Forensics & Intelligence Gathering Theme:

 

Theme: “Digital Shadows. Infinite Footprints.” Objective: Master the art of OSINT (Open Source Intelligence) and metadata analysis to track targets and secure digital perimeters.

  • Intel Gathering (The War Room): A high-stakes “Geoguessr” style squad competition using Google Maps, sun shadows, and environmental cues to pinpoint exact global locations.

  • Metadata Analysis: Hands-on “EXIF” extraction training using personal devices to uncover hidden GPS coordinates and timestamps embedded in everyday photos.

  • The Phishing Lab: A “Spot the Fake” tactical challenge identifying high-level social engineering tactics, malicious URLs, and urgent-action scams.

  • Digital Privacy Audit: A “scare them straight” demonstration on data leakage and how smartphones broadcast personal information to the public web.

  • Passive Reconnaissance: Utilizing advanced search operators and tablet-friendly tools to conduct non-intrusive investigations into digital targets.

Day 3: Situational Awareness & Field Surveillance

 

Theme: “You cannot fight what you cannot see.” Objective: Master threat assessment, elite communication protocols, and the fundamentals of physical surveillance.

  • The Sit-Rep (Cooper’s Colors): Tactical training in the Color Codes of Awareness, moving recruits from “Code White” (oblivious) to “Code Yellow” (relaxed alertness) and “Code Orange” (specific focus).

  • The “Grey Man” Protocol: Instruction in blending into any environment by eliminating memorable “tells” and mastering the silent, heel-to-toe tactical walk.

  • Radio Comms (NATO Phonetic Alphabet): Fluency training in the NATO alphabet to ensure precision under pressure, practiced through “Blind Comms” navigation drills.

  • The Observation Deck: Real-world situational awareness testing, challenging recruits to recall environmental details and “blind” spatial layouts.

  • Surveillance 101 (The ABC Method): Hands-on formation training (The Eye, The Backup, and The Cutoff) to shadow a target through a “Hallway Follow” without detection.

  • Body Language & Pre-Assault Indicators: A specialized analytical lab where recruits identify “Target Glancing” and “Blading” to predict and neutralize physical threats before they escalate.

  • Daily Incident Report: Practical application of surveillance logs and threat assessments into a professional field summary for dismissal.

  • Graduation Regalia: Includes the official Junior Investigator Pin and a signed Certificate of Completion upon successful verdict delivery on Day 5.
