3rd Annual Hackathon
This two-day event offers an opportunity to learn about sex trafficking in the Upstate, receive hands-on training in open-source intelligence (OSINT) skills for online investigations, and collaborate in teams to help identify potential trafficking victims. All new leads will be handed over to local law enforcement for further investigation. No prior experience is required, making it a great way for anyone interested in online investigations to get started. Participants must be 18 years or older due to the nature of the content.
