LEVA — Globally recognized training and certification in the science of forensic video analysis
Join TodayUpcoming 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.
Adobe Premiere Pro for Forensic Media – Intermediate to Advanced
This is a five-day Intermediate to Advanced course in Adobe Premiere Pro for forensic media applications. Throughout the course, you will learn and practice advanced techniques on stand-alone cases while all the while building a courtroom demonstrative presentation that incorporates all that you’ll learn throughout the week. Prior experience working with digital media evidence is also beneficial.
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.
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 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).
