Tech Crime to Trial — work the case. Make the decisions. Take it to court.

A custom training portal powering a 4.5-day immersive ICAC course, from the first CyberTip to courtroom testimony.

Zero Abuse Project
Overview

Tech Crime to Trial is an immersive ICAC training from the Zero Abuse Project, delivered across five days for investigator-prosecutor teams. Led by ICAC investigations specialists, senior attorneys, and digital evidence experts, the course follows a single case from the initial CyberTip through investigation, case preparation, pretrial litigation, and courtroom testimony. The custom Tech Crime to Trial portal connects every stage of the experience: teams access evolving case information, review evidence, complete assignments, request forensic analysis, and manage investigative decisions as the case unfolds.

Challenge

Traditional ICAC training tends to be lecture-based, and the moving pieces of a realistic case — tips, evidence, assignments, forensic results — are hard to run through paper handouts and slide decks. Instructors needed a way for teams to actually work a case together, with the consequences of their decisions carrying forward from day to day.

Solution

We built a custom training portal that runs alongside the in-person course. Teams sign in to access their case as it develops, review evidence, submit assignments, and request forensic analysis — while instructors manage teams and release new case material behind the scenes. A built-in AI assistant supports participants as they work, and the whole experience is mobile-friendly so it fits naturally into the training room.
