The Federal Bureau of Investigation will be providing information regarding the activity of "764" and other violent online networks which operate within the United States and around the globe.
These networks methodically target and exploit minors and other vulnerable individuals, and it is imperative that law enforcement be made aware of the risk and the warning signs exhibited by victims. These networks use threats, blackmail, and manipulation to coerce or extort victims into producing, sharing, or live-streaming acts of self-harm, animal cruelty, sexually explicit acts, and/or suicide. The footage is then circulated among members of the network to continue to extort victims and exert control over them.
This seminar is
FOR SWORN LAW ENFORCEMENT ONLY.
