Level 2: Digital Multimedia Evidence Processing

August 4 @ 8:00 am

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).

Advanced Forensic Video Interrogations: An In-Depth Examination of Video Analysis Processes

August 19 @ 10:00 am

The examination process and workflow learned in this course will provide attendees with advanced examination skills and a greater understanding of the embedded metadata within video evidence files (at the frame level). Using this information to produce accurate observations or calculations based on the file’s header information will result in a more thorough report and/or presentation and is also relevant information that can be provided to other experts who are untrained in video examination yet rely on video evidence in their field of expertise (i.e., accident reconstruction, use-of-force experts, biomechanical experts, etc.).
