From Investigation to Arrest in 72 Hours: Operation Safe Haven, Unravelling a Child Sex Trafficking Ring
Step into a gripping investigation with former UK Police Sgt. Tom Oldroyd as he takes you behind the scenes of a UK. Police task force’s rapid takedown of a child sex trafficking operation in just three days. Experience the high-stakes journey from initial intelligence gathering to the decisive raid, where multiple devices were seized, digital evidence was meticulously analysed, and a dangerous criminal network was dismantled. Learn how this streamlined workflow not only exposed CSAM material and rescued exploited victims but also uncovered potential terrorism threats.
In this session, you'll discover actionable strategies that you can implement to accelerate your investigations, safeguard more victims, and protect your team’s mental health in the face of these challenging cases. This is a must-attend presentation for law enforcement professionals dedicated to making a swift and decisive impact in your work.

An ex-Sergeant from Nottinghamshire Police (UK) for 17 years, Tom managed a standout Digital Forensics Unit in the UK before hanging-up his cuffs, to work for various industry partners, and he now leads S21’s strategy and sales activities.
Tom’s passion for rescuing children and collaboration between vendors, paves the way for new partnerships and joint initiatives to ensure that investigators are equipped with tools that are as dedicated as the investigators who deploy them.

Forensics and Your Incident Response Plan
When your SIEM sends an alert about suspicious or abnormal activity in your network, how can you act on that information automatically to preserve the evidence necessary to investigate a possible breach? This presentation will discuss the technologies and policies that can help organizations minimize the damage in a breach.
We will also discuss how Law Enforcement agencies can help organizations minimize damage and get closure faster when brought in on breach investigations.
