digital evidence

Join AEquitas, in partnership with the Denver District Attorney’s Office, for a two-part webinar that will explore the scope of data available from sources of digital evidence and strategies on how such data can effectively be identified and preserved with forensically sound practices. Presenters will discuss theories of admission, rules of evidence, and “real life” examples to demonstrate how to properly obtain, search, authenticate, and introduce digital evidence in court proceedings.

The purpose of the Bureau of Justice Assistance sponsored project, “Student Computer Forensics and Digital Evidence Educational Opportunities Program”, is to develop a refined cybercrime investigation curricular for future law enforcement officers’ training. This project will provide students with the most comprehensive and reliable cybercrime investigation training available in regards to Computer Forensics and Digital Evidence Educational Training.

This workshop, designed for prosecutors, will explore various social networking sites and potential evidence recoverable from those sites for the use in investigations. Participants will learn not only about various techniques that can be used to identify profiles of people involved in the case, but also how to utilize the connections between people to explore more potential corroborative evidence. Knowing what is possible through social media searching will help prosecutors ask the right questions and understand the evidence being provided to them by their investigators.

Digital evidence is pervasive in today’s criminal trials, making it imperative that prosecutors understand the intricacies of computer forensics in order to try and win cases. This presentation covers the fundamentals of computer forensics and discusses the many forensic artifacts that are useful to prove up a variety of criminal charges.

NW3C conducted a student focus group on the campus of Fairmont State University. The goal of the focus group was to discuss current and emerging technologies (e.g., cellphone apps, gaming systems, social media, etc.) that are being used by young adults. The information gathered is used to inform various research projects and publications, including law enforcement alerts.

Legal Concerns for Digital Evidence Responders provides a legal background for first responders and investigators who encounter or work with digital evidence. Topics include Fourth Amendment concerns, the importance of getting digital devices into the hands of a forensics expert, recent case law, and practical advice on obtaining and executing search warrants. The modules function as companions to NW3C’s computer crimes classes and may be required as online prerequisites for either instructor-led or online training.
