SOCIAL MEDIA INVESTIGATIONS

Our OSINT Intelligence Division (OID) is led by a court recognized expert on Internet and Social Media Investigations. A 28 year veteran of the Vancouver Police Department with 12 of those years being spent in the Technological Crimes Unit.

As well as assisting municipal law enforcement agencies across Canada and the United States he has also worked closely with the RCMP, the FBI, the United States Secret Service, the United States Postal Inspectors and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission of Nigeria. He has assisted the top 7 financial institutions in Canada, a number of large U.S banks and the 4 main North American credit card companies in recovering millions of dollars’ worth of compromised data.

The OSINT Intelligence Division of our private investigation agency utilizes the full depth of open source digital information, with its ever expanding sources, methods and wealth of valuable data. OSINT or Open Sources for Intelligence is a vast, complex and ever changing network, which involves traditional media, web-based communities and social networks, public data, professional and academic digital sources, geospatial methods and the deep web.

These methods are becoming invaluable to investigators as intelligence analysts are able to uncover information using methods that were once thought impossible.

At Haywood Hunt OSINT is often critical in the collection, collation and analysis of evidence allowing us to offer intelligence that is beyond the scope and capabilities of the vast majority of private investigation agencies. All of our methods are legally sound and we utilize processes that the courts will accept.
