Description
Technology is changing the nature of police investigations. Once considered rare in an investigation, items of digital evidence are now part of every case. From cell phones, to tablets, to computers, to social media accounts, digital evidence is engrained in our every day lives and presents itself in multiple formats in every investigation. As such, police agencies throughout the world are struggling to keep up with the volume of digital evidence to be analyzed. In this talk, audience members will learn about an innovative partnership formed between the St. Joseph County, IN Cyber Crimes Unit and the University of Notre Dame to address this issue. Since beginning this partnership, even with an increase of 106% in cases, backlog has been reduced from 30 cases to zero cases, and turn-around time for digital forensics has been reduced from 14 days to four hours.
