Course dates to be announced
This two-week course is intended for law enforcement
personnel whose agencies have electronic imaging capabilities and are currently
working in this field
and have attended the two-week Digital Imaging of Evidentiary Photography.
Candidates should have advanced concentrated studies in computer operating
systems such as Microsoft Windows environment and image management software
such as Adobe Photoshop.
After completing this course of instruction,
the class participants will have a comprehensive understanding
of the Microsoft
Windows environment as well as have a thorough working knowledge of Adobe
Photoshop, Adobe Premier, and Adobe Illustrator. Furthermore, the students
will have a complete understanding of advanced forensic digital imaging
concepts, image handling policies and procedures and how those
concepts must be applied
during the investigative process to preserve and maintain the chain of
custody of their digital images.
Students will learn how to apply
advanced digital
imaging concepts including the procedures for working with multiple layers
to enhance video surveillance images and for creating lineups and contact
sheets. In addition, they will apply the technique of using multiple "snapshots" for
comparison purposes during the image enhancement process. Finally,
students will also learn how to change image formats and prepare images
for both Internet
and intranet communications.
At the end of each session, all students
will take part in a "practical application" exercise to ensure that
the required learning objectives were achieved. In addition, each student
will be required to submit a skeletal outline of the policies and procedures
required to maintain the security and privacy of their digital evidence.
