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.
Advanced Forensic Video Interrogations: An In-Depth Examination of Video Analysis Processes
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.).
Level 4: Advanced Forensic Video Analysis & The Law
This course is primarily hands-on in which students process video evidence, write a report, and present it in a moot court. Perfecting the CV is also featured. Class size is limited to 15 students. This 40-hour advanced level of instruction focuses on case law and relevant issues as well as advanced forensic video analysis techniques. There is considerable discussion of the legal issues surrounding the seizure and examination of digital CCTV images. Grading will be based on practicals throughout the week, a written exam, and the moot court.
Data Visualization: Crafting Powerful, Evidence-Based Demonstratives
This workshop trains legal and forensic professionals to create geospatial demonstrative videos using Premiere Pro, with support from After Effects, Illustrator, and more. Through a case study, participants learn to turn complex evidence into clear visual narratives, from project kickoff to final delivery. Designed for those skilled in Premiere Pro, it also offers new techniques and confidence-building for experienced creators of demonstratives.
