(76000028) FLETC-Digital Evidence Acquisition Specialist Training Program (DEASTP)
COURSE 2018-02-06
The Digital Evidence Acquisition Specialist Training (DEASTP) is designed to equip criminal investigators with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to properly identify, seize and acquire digital evidence. Through a combination of lecture, demonstration, hands on exercises, labs and a practical exercise investigators learn how to seize digital evidence from personal computer (PC) and notebook computer hard drives, floppy diskettes, compact disks (CDs), DVDs, thumb drives, and various flash media by acquiring forensically valid images of the digital media. Investigators also learn how to preview digital media prior to acquisition to determine if the media contains key text strings, unlawful graphics, etc. The DEASTP program is an intense program that requires substantial computer aptitude. Successful completion of a graded practical exercise is required for graduation. At the conclusion of the training program, the participants will be able to successfully seize and acquire digital evidence. These skills will be demonstrated through the completion of an eight hour practical exercise. The practical exercise includes a simulated search warrant scenario. [Note: The search warrant scenario does not include tactics (e.g., dynamic building entry, handcuffing suspects, use of firearms, etc.). The practical exercise requires each student to work independently to acquire various types of digital evidence in a forensically sound manner.
