Case Agent Investigative Review

Learn to view evidence using one of the tools that the NERCFL uses in computer forensic examinations. We believe that the case investigator is the most knowledgeable person to conduct an analysis of digital media to determine its relevance to an investigation. For example, who better to determine that a particular e-mail between two individuals is relevant?

This course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively use our evidence viewing tool to conduct a comprehensive review of digital media that has been submitted to and processed by the NERCFL. This includes techniques to locate and examine e-mail messages, deleted files, documents, graphic files, as well as searching for key words and phrases.
