This intensive, hands-on course is intended for law enforcement digital forensic investigators, digital forensic response team members, analysts, and those performing missions and activities that have the potential to require seizing, collecting, analyzing, reporting and storing evidence, information, data and intelligence from digital media.

This is the most complete and the most hands-on digital forensics course available. This course begins at a mock-up of a terrorist cell / crime scene. The students are taught the following skills:

1. Identification Skills - Students are trained to identify all of the possible types of digital media, information and evidence present at a crime scene.
2. Collection Skills - Students are taught proper procedures and methodologies for collecting digital forensics evidence, data and intelligence. One of the unique features of this course is we not only teach the students how to collect digital evidence and data, we actually have each student collect that information utilizing world class forensic tools and equipment. Students will collect information, evidence and all available data from computer hard drives, thumb drives, flash memory cards, cell phones, DVD/CDs, and other types of digital media.
3. Analytical Skills - Once the students have mastered identification and collection skills, they will be taught how to analyze the collected data, evidence and information in order to locate, analyze, and exploit all information pertinent to their law enforcement case or mission. Again, this is accomplished via hands-on training utilizing world class digital forensics software and computer systems.
4. Reporting Skills - Students are taught how to prepare the various types of reports from the analysis of the data, information and evidence. These reports can then be used in a courtroom to convict the suspect(s); or to exploit that information and intelligence to further their case of law enforcement mission and objective.
5. Archiving Skills - The final step of any case or military mission - after the data, information, evidence and intelligence is identified, collected, analyzed, reported and used to convict the suspect or complete the military mission - is to ensure that information is properly stored. Students will be trained on correct storage procedures using world class digital forensics archiving equipment and systems.

Every module of this training course includes the academic knowledge and hands-on experience necessary to produce competent and proficient digital forensic investigators, analysts and practitioners.

The following digital forensic systems and equipment will be introduced and used during the hands-on portions of this course:

• Forensic Imaging Software
• Handheld Field Unit Imaging Device
• CD-DVD Imaging System
• Cell Phone Acquisition and Image System
• Cellular Jamming Devices
• Write-Blocking Devices
• Portable Forensic Workstation

Each H-11 Digital Forensics course includes a Hands-on Practical Exam to help the student’s retention of skills learned and to reinforce the knowledge attained during the training period.

The owners and senior management of H-11 Digital Forensics have great respect for the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers around the world. As a demonstration of that respect and support, H-11 routinely donates digital forensics equipment to law enforcement agencies that sign up for the Crime Scene to Courtroom Digital Forensics Course.

These equipment and system donations vary in size and type of equipment and are made at the sole discretion of the H-11 management team.
