Each month we focus this section on a new course and instructor. This month’s featured course is Cell Phone Investigations™ taught by Aaron Edens.

At recent conference, roughly 200 investigators were asked how many of their departments used UFED (Cellebrite’s popular mobile forensics product).  Approximately 70% of the students raised their hands.  They were then asked to keep their hands up if they had received formal training in the use of the device.  All but four lowered their hands.

Law enforcement agencies may have the forensics tools but most personnel have not received adequate training to use the tools, and in some cases personnel haven’t received any training at all.  Because of this training gap, Police Technical has chosen Cell Phone Investigations™ as our latest course to assist personnel to better utilize the tools they already possess, and to extend their skill set and confidence in cell phone investigations.
