Identifying and Securing Digital Evidence

8/28/2018

Electronic data is all around — in computers, phones, cars, and appliances. This course will help students identify where electronic evidence may be found and teach them how to properly secure such evidence.

The one-day Computer Crime First Responder course will introduce participants to the wide world of cybercrime and the basic steps for handling complaints, including how to locate a suspect. Instructors will lead participants in exercises and demonstrations to understand best practices for identifying and seizing fragile electronic evidence. Students will also learn how deleted or hidden data can be recovered by specialists. 

In addition, students will review online safety and learn steps they can take to help protect themselves and their agency against cyberattacks and cybercriminals.

NOTE: This course is limited to sworn law enforcement personnel only.
