Crime Analysis

As the Internet of Things (IoT) becomes ubiquitous in our everyday lives there are privacy and security concerns that citizens should be aware of. This training will provide an overview of IoT and will teach law enforcement officials methods to engage with their communities to provide information about IoT privacy and security. Steps that community members can take to be safer with these devices, and effective teaching strategies regarding prevention will be covered.

This webinar is designed to provide a deep dive into the intricate world of connected vehicles, offering a blend of technical knowledge, practical insights, and forward-looking investigative and legal challenges in investigations as we explore the latest advancements in connected vehicle technology. As the automotive industry accelerates towards a more interconnected future, understanding these innovations is key to understanding the value that this data might bring in a criminal investigation and prosecution.

The Internet of Things involves a web of data which requires planning to access and manage. During this training, we will explore devices and their connected systems, to understand how they create valuable evidence and could have significance at crime scenes. Examination through live demonstrations on how to retrieve and review the data, identify applicable Fourth Amendment concepts, and apply them to build a legally defensible and ethical case will be discussed.
