digital investigations - CPD workshop

5 October 2021

Challenges and opportunities around the use of digital evidence in investigations

​

• An exclusive workshop led by former Forensic Science Regulator Professor Gillian Tully, CBE  - an internationally recognised leader in forensic science

• Online via MS Teams

The Investigator is hosting this exclusive workshop that looks at contemporary issues around understanding and minimising risk in digital and multi-media investigations.

​

It will be run by Professor Gillian Tully, CBE who until February this year was the Forensic Science Regulator who led the work to implement quality standards for digital forensics and forensic science.

​

Our workshop will provide you with an exclusive opportunity to gain valuable best practice and advice from Professor Tully, who is an internationally recognised leader in forensic science, and to directly engage with her around this challenging but vital area of digital investigation.

​

Who should attend?

It is aimed at those working in a digital investigation or forensics role including Digital Media Investigators, Digital Media Advisors, digital forensics staff and intelligence analysts who are involved in RF surveys. It is also relevant for operational investigators working in a major crime role who want to develop and enhance their understanding of the role of digital evidence in their investigations.

​

The workshop will cover:

• What are the risks in digital and multimedia examinations and how can these be minimised?

• Cognitive issues: I’m not biased…

• Technical issues: what could possibly go wrong?

• Data issues: data loss, data protection, disclosure

• Interpretation issues: what do the findings mean?

• How can we expect the courts to treat digital & multi-media evidence?

• When does digital evidence become expert evidence?

• What do we need to learn from what has gone wrong in previous cases?
