How ALPR Encourages Objective Policing
Published by the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP), this blog discusses how today’s public safety technology presents law enforcement officers with tools that can help mitigate the natural phenomenon of human bias. Devices like automatic license plate reading (ALPR) cameras are not only effective for solving crimes quickly, but they also help mitigate bias by focusing on wholly objective evidence, like license plate numbers and vehicle details. To ensure an ALPR program is ethically deployed to maximize objectivity, there are a few key details to keep in mind.
NW3C Course
Reconstructing User Activities From a Memory Dump
Hosted by the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) and funded by the Bureau of Justice Assistance, this course discusses how to analyze digital device storage drives to reconstruct the users’ activities in child exploitation cases. While much can be learned from disk analysis, Random Access Memory (RAM) is a particularly rich source of potential evidence related to user activities. Specifically, reconstruction of user activities from a RAM dump can help establish both a suspect’s awareness and intent. This webinar will cover RAM basics, acquisition, triage, and user-activity reconstruction from a RAM dump.
