Open-Source Intelligence (OSINT) for Prevention and Response to Trafficking in Persons and People Smuggling 5

About the course

Traffickers’ modi operandi of domestic trafficking for sexual exploitation often involve the use of the internet, websites and social media to find clients, lure, recruit, and exploit victims. International trends of trafficking showed common methods of recruitment by deception through false job offers promising high salaries advertised on the internet. While ICT has been co-opted by organized crime for all aspects of human trafficking, it has also offered new opportunities for law enforcement agencies to detect recruitment and exploitation of victims, trace funds and assets obtained through or used for trafficking in persons, identify and engage with suspects, etc.

In line with this, RSO developed an open-source intelligence (OSINT) curriculum to enhance officers’ knowledge and capacity to address online crimes through the collection and analysis of publicly available information. The curriculum will equip officers with essential OSINT knowledge, skills, and strategies through a series of three three-day workshops to be held over a period of six-to-twelve months.

Learning objectives

The workshops aim to provide participants with a fundamental understanding of OSINT techniques, moving from basic knowledge of relevant tools and strategies, to a more intermediate level where participants are able to actively apply OSINT within their daily workflows. The workshops will provide participants with a progressive learning experience, starting with foundational concepts and gradually advancing to more practical and specialised strategies.
