Builds on: Electronic Evidence: Best Practices and Pitfalls
First on Scene with Devices
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
The first person to reach a device often decides how much evidence survives. One wrong tap can change dates, lock a phone, or start a wipe. This unit gives the first responder a short, safe routine.
Focus: secure, record, decide, isolate, pack. Do not explore. This unit is general knowledge. It is not legal advice, and your agency's own procedure comes first.
Learning objectives
- Secure a scene and the people in it before you touch any device.
- Record what you find so that a court can follow it later.
- Decide what to do with a computer that is on, and one that is off.
- Protect a phone from the network and from a flat battery.
- Pack and label devices, and take no more than the case needs.
