Training - Peer Precision

Operation Peer Precision embodies the efforts to address recommendations derived from the first peer-to-peer network undercover operations. Through the use of client-side enhancers to publicly available tools, law enforcement can now investigate the use of the peer-to-peer file sharing networks while incorporating many of the recommendations that stemmed from previous successful operations.  This training imparts the skills necessary to investigate the use of the peer-to-peer file sharing networks using advanced technology developed as a result of previous peer-to-peer investigations.

Course Costs

Student tuition, course materials, and lodging are paid for this program by the ICAC Task Force Training and Technical Assistance Program. Participants are responsible for transportation, meals, parking, and incidental expenses. The participant is also responsible for paying for additional lodging nights outside that allotted for the training program.

Federal Employees:  The ICAC Training & Technical Assistance will pay for tuition, student materials, and instructional costs for Federal employees who obtain the appropriate approvals and wish to attend this training.  However, current program guidelines prohibit us from expending grant funds to pay lodging expenses for Federal employees.
