Two days ago I led a full day of workshops for my team. Here, I share what I learned from the experience and how they evaluated the day.

In the third part of this series I am talking about how I plan the OSINT team challenges that will wrap up the whole training. Every aspect we trained before will be reviewed.

In the second part of this series I am talking about how AI can speed up investigations, about concerns and security issues, concepts for implementation and real world examples.

One Day to Train my Team - One Day for them to become experts in AI and Linux Environments

My brain never shuts down, even at 3 AM when I should be sleeping. But here's the thing: I love what I do, so it doesn't feel like a burden. It feels like passion. In this post I explore where inspiration actually comes from, why I built a blog from scratch, and when enough is finally enough.

When your inbox pings with a training invite from the BKA, you don't hesitate. Last week, I spent five days immersed in advanced Linux and virtualization with just 25 seats for the entire country. Here's what made it worth every minute, and why keeping high standards in our line of work matters more than ever.

When an emergency exercise tested our team, I realized PowerPoint wasn't cutting it. In just one hour, I built an offline tool that handled maps, entities, and real-time reports on the fly. Here's how a quick solution saved the day and what it taught me about when "good enough" beats perfect.

While tech giants race to automate coding and criminals exploit AI for fraud and cyber-attacks, law enforcement agencies still wait years for software built by external contractors. Open-source models now enable agencies to build secure, tailored tools in-house, closing the gap before it's too late.

From helping detectives solve cold cases to personal assistants analyzing our daily routines, AI holds enormous potential but only if we rethink our approach to technology, privacy, and responsibility. This isn't just about efficiency. It's about preparing society for a profound shift in how we live, work, and protect ourselves in an AI-driven world.

Forensic evidence takes up to 35 months to process while investigators rely on pinboards and printed lists to identify crime patterns. A former Europol analyst reveals why urgent digital transformation is needed in law enforcement to keep pace with modern criminal activity.
