Technology Implementation - eCrime

When planning for or executing a search warrant, have you wondered what else is relevant, probative, and meaningful to your case? In 2022, that should be a standard question regarding digital evidence; the ability to identify discreet or intentionally hidden form factor, understand what potential artifacts might be available and their functional relevance, and a range of considerations which impact risk to the evidence and ultimately proper collection and preservation.

The first module of this course covers fundamentals such as recognizing computer components and their functions, accessing computer firmware, and the startup and shutdown processes. The second module covers how a hard disk drive works, how data is converted into digital information, how to calculate the storage capacity of a device, partitioning and how that is used for storage, and how a solid state hard drive functions.

Trust is an essential component for reducing friction between people, organizations, government, and other entities. When trust is high, people are more willing to cooperate, require less assurances for doing so, and are less skeptical of the outcomes. Unfortunately, today's climate of manipulated media, deep fakes, conflicting sources of information, and sensationalized news has raised many people's level of skepticism. This makes building and maintaining trust particularly difficult but also incredibly important.

This course introduces the history of UAVs and the ways they are commonly used, both legitimately and in relation to a crime, and focuses on the ways law enforcement can gather and analyze evidence involving drones. Topics include gathering evidence both internal and external to the drone, as well as methods for manually processing flight logs and displaying data in Google Earth.

This course provides an introduction to the digital space commonly referred to as social media and networking. Terminology used to describe how social media and networking services are accessed, statistical data on users and mobile devices, and a variety of popular services are covered in the first part of the course.

Early identification and recovery of digital evidence are critical for an investigation, and the amount and types of technical evidence have grown exponentially. This webinar will discuss digital "footprints" that can help you during your investigations, no matter your technical background. We will discuss victim-based, suspect-based, and location-based ways of finding evidence to include innovative ways of seeing a crime scene through different technologies.

This course focuses on the modern challenges with introducing digital evidence in court. In this course, we cover both Brady and admissibility requirements and explain what steps need to be taken to ensure digital evidence can be introduced and effectively used at trial. Takeaways from the course include best practices for visual presentations and a mock exam template.

Join us to explore IoT through the optics of the investigator and the examiner. Let us examine the most popular IoT technology, essential planning in any case, how to identify and search for relevant technologies at search or crime scenes, what digital evidence is available locally versus remotely, what tools are available to assist in collection and analysis, what should you know about IoT related legal process, and where to obtain additional resources, focused training, and technical assistance.

When it is your life, it can be hard to identify that any significant changes are taking place. Other times, you may know things are having an impact on you, but it is unclear when therapy might actually be beneficial. This presentation will cover how traumatic events from the job can have an impact on first responders, how to identify the impacts that the job is having on you, and how to know when it is time to seek help from a professional.
