I really enjoyed the class! It was very informative! Going into the class I really thought I knew how to navigate and knew the ins and outs of social media... but wow! Boy was I wrong! I ended up taking 7 pages of notes of all the different topics that Nick spoke on! I'm glad to have had the opportunity to take the class!

This was amazing. I learned that I am searching EVERYTHING wrong and you can really dial in on open source data and gain a ton of information prior to writing your warrants. Every Officer in the Country needs to take this course. If I can understand it anyone can!

I followed Nick on social media for years, learning everything I could from his posts. I was FINALLY able to take his class in Sanford, FL back in July and it did not disappoint! Anybody from Road Patrol to Investigations can and should use the tools and techniques Nick shares in his class to further their investigations and keep themselves and their families safe. HIGHLY recommended!

The class was awesome. Many great points and resources. Definitely happy I took the time to follow-up. I’ve done several warrants using social media and have made arrests based off them. This was an amazing class!

Mr. Jerman, I just recently finished up your Social Media and OSINT introduction course. I really enjoyed the material and found it jammed packed with a wealth of knowledge in only 1 hour. Open Source Intelligence tools are a great way to obtain valuable info on subjects. I feel like these types of tools will be highly utilized in the near future and it’s great to learn now and get ahead of the game.

I have been in law enforcement for over 20 years and been a part of the criminal investigations division for 10 of them. I have seen many advanced trainings offered over the years for the topics of open source and social media investigations. This is a challenging course to teach and share with others especially for just being a one day class. I have to say Nick nailed it and shared many great resources with the class and they were very useful and the best part is what any agency and detective likes to hear and that they are free. When it comes to technology and social media it changes so much day to day and the trainings I had a few years ago have pretty much became antiquated, so attending this class brought me back up to date with the new social media applications and web pages available to use for investigations. Overall I do recommend for anyone involved in investigations or analysist positions to attend this class even if they have had other training on the same topic.

Nick! I took your class last month and it was my first Blue to Gold class. I have to say that prior to coming to the class, I was in a slump in my career and had no direction. After seeing how energetic you were during class, it inspired me to try my luck with social media. Within two weeks, I was about to get four guns, and fetanyl off of our streets. THANK YOU for inspiring me. Your class was a career changer!

Nick is a wealth of knowledge. He has helped our agency out on multiple occasions throughout the past several years. He is always eager to help, and he always responds promptly. His course regarding open-source intelligence investigations has enhanced my skills as an investigator tenfold. I highly recommend taking one of his courses.

I did internet crimes against children investigations 12 years ago. All the technology has changed. This was a fantastic class to get current tools, tips, and trends. Policing has become more technology based as criminals have started using social media and internet services.
