Classes include “Cell Phone Call Detail Record Analysis” and “Plotting Movement from Data gathered from GPS Devices.”

“The training for both cell phone and GPS data analysis is very much in demand by law enforcement,” said Raymond Philo, professor of practice in criminal justice and director of UC’s Economic Crime Institute. “In fact, prospective registrants have been put on a waiting list because we are at maximum capacity.”

The Oneida County District Attorney's Office is the law enforcement sponsor for this training, Philo said.
