Electronic evidence plays a part in almost any type of criminal investigation, and the role of the first responder is crucial in recognising and dealing with this type of evidence in such a way that it is admissible within the criminal justice system. 

This course is designed to provide law enforcement first responders with the knowledge and skills required to:

• enable them to recognise and deal with electronic evidence in such a manner that the evidence is preserved for future examination, while retaining its integrity, and to
• identify on-line criminal assets and put in place procedures to seize and confiscate the assets.

The course will provide procedural as well as practical information about the subject matters and concentrate on how these issues impact on the day-to-day work of the delegates.
