Crimes Against Children Investigators need continuous training to sharpen their abilities to find and rescue children from sexual exploitation and abuse. At Project VIC International, we regularly engage with investigators one-on-one, in small groups, or at conferences to provide technology-focused instruction based on the needs of each investigator. We provide training for all of the tools that we develop and we provide instruction to investigators so they can build their own capabilities, or enhance and integrate with existing capabilities in their toolbox.
This course is offered in-person and online at the DFRWS USA 2026 conference. The hands-on portion will only be available to those persons that are in-person. All online participants will be able to observe all of the presentations expect for the last one on Sunday 26 July which is law enforcement only.
You must register through DFRWS.
We have secured a significant discount from DFRWS for Crimes Against Children Investigators, and others that safeguard children for a living to attend the workshop and conference.
If you are only attending the workshop in person, you will need to use this code and pay the $25 registration fee: ProVicVR
If you are attending both the workshop and conference online, you will need to use the same discount code at registration. The total discounted cost for online registration for Project VIC-affiliated investigators and digital forensics examiners is $25. The cost is normally $150, so you are getting a discount of $125.
If you are attending the workshop and conference in-person, you will need to use this 10% discount code: ProVicUSA10
Here is the full agenda for the DFRWS USA 2026 conference.
08:00–09:00 - Workshop presenters arrive and setup the workshop space
09:00 - 09:05 - Opening introduction by Cory Hall, including introduction of workshop presenters, identification of key resources for all attendees, and workshop goals

09:35 -12:15 (Session 1b) MSAB presents basic usage of their products that all crimes against children investigators and digital forensic examiners need to know: imaging, triage, on-scene analysis, Project VIC hash intelligence, etc. Operational context and insights provided by participants.
12:15–13:15 Lunch (on your own)
13:35–13:55 (Session 2a) Install Griffeye Trial License (Griffeye presenter is TBD)

16:15 –17:00 (Session 3) Presentation of Link-Look, a new prototype system from Project VIC International for normalizing data sources including warrant returns, open-source, and enrichment datasources using the CASE/UCO and Crimes Against Children ontologies for analysis and lead development. Presenters: Detective Brad McNamara (Lunenburg Police Department) and Cory Hall (Project VIC International).
18:00 - 20:00 - Workshop Dinner (Optional) - Details will be provided soon. Attendees pay their own way.
Focus is on exploring free technical and intelligence resources that are available to Crimes Against Children investigators, explore non-profit capabilities that assist law enforcement to fight back against child sex trafficking. Focus on Victim ID tradecraft, and then skinny down to a law enforcement and workshop presenter only session to discuss ICACCOPS capability.

Course Lecture Repository: https://github.com/Project-VIC-International/Agentic-AI-Development-Course
This repository contains Project VIC training materials for teaching law enforcement, forensic examiners, analysts, and prosecutors how to use agentic AI and open standards to build mission tools. It supports a two-part session with lecture and hands-on lab materials. It solves the capability creation gap when mission problems are too specific or urgent to wait for commercial software cycles.
Investigators know the mission problems best. Teaching them to safely use AI-assisted development, GitHub, Cursor, and CASE/UCO/CAC ontology standards can help agencies build small interoperable tools and evaluate open-source projects responsibly.
The course explains AI and agentic workflows, introduces GitHub and Cursor, teaches spec-driven development, and guides students through building a CAC mission tool prototype. It connects development practices with ontology-based data modeling so outputs can remain interoperable.
Development Template Repository: https://github.com/Project-VIC-International/Agentic-AI-Development-Project-Template
This repository is a quick-start template for investigators, forensic examiners, analysts, and supporting technologists who want to build mission tools using Project VIC's agentic AI development approach. It solves the problem of starting safely by providing a structured workspace, prompts, intake forms, planning documents, and guardrails.
Small local tools can make a real difference in CAC work, but they need to be built carefully. The template helps practitioners turn a problem statement into a tested prototype while using synthetic data and interoperability guidance. Users create a private repo from the template, open it in Cursor, complete a problem intake, use provided prompts and planning materials, and build the first small milestone in minutes. Within a few hours it is possible to develop a tool with new capability for your department that includes security controls, documentation, and all the source code. This makes it easier to explain exactly what is your new software is and how it works. The template repository includes setup scripts, Cursor rules, examples, docs, and CASE/UCO/CAC-oriented guidance to help you build interoperable tools from the beginning.
This course is open-source and freely available to everyone to help build capacity in the crimes against children investigation community. Reach out to us via our "help" button if you would like for Project VIC to come and teach this course to your department.
