Description

The Electronic Device Location, Identification, and Threat Evaluation (ELITE) is a Federal Law Enforcement Training Centers (FLETC) Center Advanced (CA) training program. The ELITE training program is designed to review the capabilities of wireless and wired devices such as Smart Home devices (IoT), Bluetooth transmitters, and Wireless Access Points. The ELITE will review current threats, hardware/software exploits, and possible defensive tactics, and introduce real-world investigative techniques available to law enforcement. Using readily available open-source and commercial off-the-shelf software and equipment, students will navigate through the techniques used to identify devices, what information can be gleaned from a device, and how to locate possible hidden devices. The training consists of lectures, labs, and practical exercises. After this program, the student will be able to access and identify available software and hardware, determine the legal requirements for conducting wireless surveillance, and identify and locate target devices in accordance with federal law and Constitutional standards.
