Cellular Phone Exploitation (CELLEX) in Investigations

Overview:
This class is designed to introduce advanced cell phone exploitation skills and techniques to law enforcement professionals. The course not only covers the commonly known data we can recover from the devices but also the hidden, unknown and deleted data files, photos, SMS messages and internet history that can help make or break a case. Our trainers and guest speakers deliver cutting edge tactics, techniques and best practices regarding the exploitation or “ripping” cellular phones. The course is designed for law enforcement professionals and prosecutors who wish to stay two steps ahead of the foreign and domestic technically savvy suspects, organized crime groups and other individuals we investigate. This course also covers the legal aspects required to search and seize data from these devices.
