October 7 @ 8:00 am - October 11 @ 5:00 pm
October 7 – 11, 2024
Prerequisite: Must have successfully completed the LEVA Level 1 course. LEVA membership is NOT required.

Course Overview:
The LEVA Level 2 course builds on the concepts of the LEVA Level 1 course. 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).
