Where to start

Which course first?

Usually OSINT: it builds the factual baseline and generates the questions. HUMINT is then tasked narrowly against the gaps, and OPSEC training protects the investigator while the work is under way. For a first look, the 3-hour OSINT course gives an overview and the basics.
