September Lectures
Morning Session: Social Media & Digital Safety: What’s New? What’s Now? What’s Next?
Date: September 16th, 2020
Time: 9 AM to 12 PM CDT
Studies show that kids ages 8-18 are spending an average of 7.5 hours a day in front of some screen; with that, the crimes associated with these ever changing technologies and social media quickly follow and continue to evolve – maybe faster than we can keep up with. Today, working with and keeping our youth safe means being constantly aware of what they’re doing online – which can be vitally helpful in daily cases, and is essential to law enforcement work across the board. Attendees will leave with a good understanding of current app and social media trends – how and why they’re being used – along with hot topic issue such as sexting, cyber-bullying and solicitation through new mediums.
