NDCAC Resources for Law Enforcement in the Digital Age

The NDCAC is a national center established under the Department of Justice designed to help facilitate technical knowledge management, and to foster the sharing of solutions and know how among law enforcement agencies. Their mission is to strengthen law enforcements relationships with the communications industry, leverage and share the collective technical knowledge and resources of the law enforcement community, and address challenges posed to law enforcement by advanced communications services and technologies. This one-hour webinar will introduce you to the many resources available through the NDCAC to include technical solutions, training, tools, and analytics.

Searching for the Digital Evidence in Your Physical Crime Scene: Part 1

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, regardless of 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. Remember, even though your suspects device did not "connect" to anything, it likely did leave a trail on the victims device, nearby routers, or may have been collected by tech companies. This webinar is designed for investigators, prosecutors, crime analysts, or those who generally investigate crimes. No high-tech background is needed! Though it is recommended, you do not need to attend part 1 to attend part 2.

The Importance of Social Support and Interpersonal Relationships in Officers' Mental Health

Join Erin Craw as she explains the benefits of social support in mitigating the adverse effects of stress on officers' health and wellbeing. Dr. Craw will also discuss ways to support officers on and off the job. This webinar will also include recommendations and guidance for having difficult conversations with family members.

Did I Do That? An Introduction to Mobile Device Artifact Research and Testing

Have you ever wondered how the forensic tools you use, know what they do? Have you ever wondered what an artifact means and why the 0 indicates a call was missed? Join NW3C High-Tech Crime Specialist Chris Atha as he introduces how to find these answers. Chris will break down the basics of setting up a mobile test device and performing basic differential testing using an iOS device. These steps will be performed using various free and open source tools, which students can use to follow along.

Understanding Different Types of Stressors & Police Officers' Preferences for Support

Join Dr. Erin Craw for a discussion about the different types of stressors police officers experience, the importance of culturally competent support, and the role of communication in addressing the needs of officers. This webinar will also involve conversations about officers' preferences in receiving support from their departments.
