Preparing For a Forensics Operation


Before your start an investigation of any case, you have a throught understanding of the forensics process, technical training, and proper lab preparation. these are critical to the success of an investigation. All the tachnicians assigned to our unit are required to have the necessary training and background to understand and conduct investigations the training ensures that technicians avoid frequently made mistekes,as turning on the computer to"check it out and see if anything important is in there".
Our teams runs a secure lab and a formal case-management system. Before we started on the ACME case, we pretested all the tods in the lab and neatly tucked the portable hardware units into the flyaway kits. Your are ready to go when the call came to us. Our case-management system lets us handle the case and organize the evidance as it is returned to the lab. You can control a large number of system, tracking where the system go and assigning the systems unique numbers with the proper documentation attached. This enable us to compare notes quickly and understand similiarities found in multiple computers.
