The first step is identifying and finding digital evidence. <We> provide a unique service because we are the only private crime lab that provides electronic storage device (ESD) detection K9s. Our ESD K9s are specially trained to identify and detect hidden, obscured, and covertly placed digital evidence. Trained customers that conduct crime scene searches, or primary searches affiliated with a search warrant, miss and overlook key pieces of digital evidence that is probative to your case. It has been documented that secondary searches that utilize ESD K9s identify and located digital evidence in over 28% of the time - when trained human searches are utilized during primary searches. In the case of investigations involving CSAM (child sexual abuse material), without utilizing ESD K9s you could be missing digital evidence that could have images and videos of real victims that you may not know about. You could also be overlooking digital evidence that connects other cases that you are not aware of.
Do you know how to properly collect digital evidence? Did you know that the order in which you collect digital evidence is vital to your case? <We> have the resources to train you on the proper collection, and are available to provide onsite assistance at crime scenes and search warrants when necessary.
The goal to any forensic investigation is to maintain the integrity of the evidence. This is no different when collecting, storing, and analyzing digital evidence. How you collect, package, transport, store, and handle digital evidence directly impacts if it will be properly preserved.
Do you know that how you analyze digital evidence impacts the quality of your results. Do you know when to analyze 'live' digital evidence from a system that is turned on? What about how you copy digital evidence during your analytical process?
Our crime lab is PRIVATE and full service = independent, third party analysis of digital evidence.
Law enforcement labs can have a bias towards the prosecution.
Because we are private, we can work for the prosecutor, defense, or private party. We do not have jurisdictional boundaries.
International accreditation* through ANAB under the ISO 17025 standard. 1 of only 2 private accredited labs that can support any customer.
ISO 17025 = competence; results are valid and repeatable based on our established quality manual, policies, procedures, and guidelines.
Subject matter experts. Most of the 17,000+ law enforcement agencies in the United States without an internationally accredited digital forensics lab, do not have experts in the field of digital forensics. They have personnel with general understanding and training, but may not be able to qualify as a subject matter expert if their work product was ever scrutinized in a court of law.
Lab director is recognized as an expert in digital forensics. He teaches digital forensics for a nationally accredited digital forensics program where he trains and mentors the new generation of digital forensic investigators.
Licensed private investigators. In some jurisdictions, digital forensics personnel must possess private investigation licenses. *pursuing
