Digital Evidence

The Digital Evidence Section is responsible for the forensic examination of electronic
devices and digital media submitted for analysis. Examinations are conducted to
acquire, preserve, analyze, and interpret electronically stored information that may be
relevant to criminal investigations. Typical evidence sources include computers, external
hard drives, optical discs, flash memory devices, and digital cameras.

This section also conducts specialized examinations of mobile devices, including
smartphones, tablets, and other portable electronic devices, to extract and analyze user
data. Relevant data may include text communications, call logs, images, videos, audio
recordings, application data, internet activity, and system artifacts.

Services Offered

Computer and Digital Media Analysis

Analysis involves the forensic acquisition and examination of electronic storage devices to recover and interpret data of investigative value. Analysts utilize validated forensic tools and methodologies to recover deleted, hidden, or partially damaged data and to reconstruct file systems, partitions, and user activity. Analytical procedures are conducted in a controlled, forensically sound environment to ensure data integrity and admissibility in court.

Upon completion of analysis, a comprehensive report is prepared summarizing the findings, methodologies, and interpretations. When required, analysts provide expert testimony regarding digital evidence recovery and analysis.

The section also provides technical assistance to investigative personnel regarding
the proper identification, seizure, transportation, and preservation of digital evidence.
Investigators are strongly encouraged to consult a forensic analyst prior to attempting
access or manipulation of any digital device.
