Upcoming Events and Training
Level 1: Forensic Video Analysis & The Law
The increased use of digital video systems by the general public has made digital multimedia evidence (DME) a significant and integral part of modern criminal and civil investigations. Since there is no standard video recording system in use, the need for trained individuals who know how to properly recover this type of evidence has increased. Properly acquiring DME is crucial, as all other processes or use of the video is impacted by accuracy of the recovery. This course introduces and provides a fundamental understanding of DME, introduces the types of systems likely to be encountered, discusses legal issues related to DME, and focuses on the proper recovery of DME.
Courtroom Testimony for Expert Witnesses
This three-day seminar is designed for expert witnesses or expert witnesses in training in any field of expertise. Even though this event is being sponsored by LEVA, it is not limited to forensic video analysis.
Intro to Best Practices for Recovery of Digital Video
Students will gain a basic understanding of digital and cloud-based recording systems law enforcement officers, agents of the government, or private sector investigators are likely to encounter. Provide skills to recover the video in a sound manner and make use of the video they recover. The class will also make the student aware of concerns in digital video, sources of information/knowledge, and further training.

Level 2: Digital Multimedia Evidence Processing
The public expectation today is that if a crime occurs, there will be video/audio of the incident. There is a significant, specific skill set that investigators need to properly handle and process the digital multimedia evidence that gets collected. If the DME is not handled and processed carefully, according to best practices, the video/audio might not be interpreted accurately. This course exposes students to more advanced theory and hands-on techniques that conform to the Best Practices for the Acquisition and Processing of Digital Multimedia Evidence (DME).
Forensic Audio Fundamentals
Students will learn how to improve audio recording issues with currently available software tools, including an in depth review of the iZotope RX software features and processes. Attendees will also receive information on forensic audio reference resources.
