2020 FLETC Webinars
FLETC: CELLPHONE SEIZURE
3064 (Smith) – The latest updates in the law, procedures, and techniques.
FLETC: MOBILE DEVICE INVESTIGATIONS
3001 (Strickland) – Mobile devices are found in just about every area of Law Enforcement. We need to understand the importance of the information stored on a mobile device and how it can be useful to investigators. First responders need to be trained on how to properly handle mobile device when they encounter them in the field or in a laboratory environment. This course will go over the two different perspectives of mobile device investigations and will cover the training that is offered by the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center on this topic.
FLETC: DRONE ARTIFACT EXTRACTION USING AUTOPSY 4.15
3224 (Bien) – Most drones use an SD Card for data storage. Any forensic tool can image an SD Card, but none were able to interpret GPS data from drones. Recently, Basis Technology has added a new module to Autopsy 4.15 which parses out location data from DJI-type drones. This demonstration shows how to use the new module, it is not a drone forensics course.
FLETC: TOR AND THE DARK WEB
3589 (Diaz) – Explore the basics of the Dark Web by learning what it is, how to access it in a safe manner, why criminals use it and what kinds of criminal activity we might be able to investigate in it.
FLETC: THE UGLY OF VIDEO RECOVERY
3321 (Harris) – The Ugly of Video Recovery is a presentation on things to remember when collecting CCTV. We are hoping to show the pitfalls and learn to avoid them.
FLETC: HOME NETWORKING
3056 (Adams) – Due to shelter-in-place orders and other social restrictions, home networks are being strained as never before. This session will help you understand the main components of your home network, explain how to better deploy your current equipment, introduce you to new equipment options, and show you how you may improve your network security.
FLETC: BASIC ELECTRONICS
3561 (Rock) – This presentation will cover several basic electronic concepts to include Ohm’s Law calculations, battery math and simple circuits. If time allows the presentation will include discussion on several low-cost electronic component options that can be incorporated into technical operations.
FLETC: INTERNET SAFETY
3589 (Lawless) – Due to COVID-19 and the increase in daily use of the Internet, the risk of online threats has increased. Instructors from the Computer Forensics Branch of the Cyber Division invite you to a one and a half-hour online session to help you understand the threats you may face and provide you with some mitigation strategies. During this presentation we will provide you with some resources and techniques you can use to protect yourself and your agency while on the internet.
2020 NATIA Training Videos
WCYHACI CONTEST & BUILD VIDEO
In this Tech Tips Video, we will be deconstructing and remixing the Lawmate Key Fob (a covert video and audio DVR) into a brand new and cost-effective concealment. The Lawmate is a commercially available off the shelf (COTS) product that was purchased from Amazon. This video also challenges you to submit pictures and videos of your covert camera builds for a chance to win FABULOUS PRIZES!
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS FOR RASPBERRY PI & ARDUINO
This Tech Tips Video consists of a compilation of Raspberry Pi and Arduino builds by none other than NATIA’s own Chris Corbitt. While this video is food for thought, many of these projects have also been built by other NATIA members during classes provided by Chris at the Southeast Chapter Conferences.
SOLVING THE LI PUZZLE: WHAT ELSE YOU SHOULD BE PUTTING IN YOUR LI PLATFORM – JSI TELECOM
As lawful intercept (LI) continues to evolve, the value of LI data is impacted by the increased use of encryption and over-the-top communication apps. More and more, LEAs are looking for ways to extract additional value out of their LI data by overlaying other data sources to gain a more complete picture of target activities and pattern of life. Please join JSI as we explore the benefits and challenges with using complimentary data sources in order to fill in the blanks in your LI data and maximize the value your organization can extract from all of its data sources and tools.
THE ETHICS & TECHNICAL ASPECTS OF FACIAL RECOGNITION: CHRIS ADZIMA
In this video, Chris Adzima of the Washington CO SO (Oregon) discusses the following aspects of Facial Recognition as it relates to the law enforcement community. Topics will include: What is facial recognition, Understanding the Limitations, What data powers it, Building a Strong Policy, and real-world examples.
GLUES, GOOS AND GADGETS Video 1
This course will include a comprehensive review of new adhesives and other products that have proven themselves to be useful to electronic surveillance technicians. There will be some different products reviewed from the previous courses. Some of the products discussed will be epoxies, mold making materials, UV curing glues, thermal curing plastics, and meters and gauges useful for RF detection and measuring.
