Training for law enforcement

Roo Powell presents at ICAC conferences and law enforcement departments, offering thorough training on how to conduct successful operations and how to create effective undercover accounts.

Perpetrators are becoming more sophisticated, and it’s increasingly harder to run convincing child and teen decoy accounts.

SOSA’s training covers signs offenders look for, recent trends in teen language and online communication, and more.

What we cover

Four areas, drawn from the operations we have run.

01

Building believable undercover accounts

Everything about your UC account can either make or break its believability, from the photos you post to what hashtags you’re using (or whether you’re using them at all). Make sure you have up-to-date information.

02

Communicating as a decoy

Are you using slang that teens today have never even heard of? Language, emojis, and trends change quickly, and we share what real teen communication looks like in 2026 so you’re able to chat effectively.

03

Evading common pitfalls

Learn about moments that sent up a red flag for perpetrators and how we got around them so the operation’s efficacy was maintained.

04

Bolstering your case in court

We have seen how certain choices during communication — that go above and beyond typical standards for prosecution — have resulted in high sentences and airtight cases in court. We’ll share those insights with you.
