Force Multipliers: Digital Forensics and How to Fund the Crime Fight
Wednesday, May 21st, 2025 1:00PM EST
Digital evidence can play an important part in achieving justice for victims and solving cases. But backlogs can often grow faster than budgets, making a modern digital forensics program feel out of reach.
Grant funding helps departments build out capabilities and serve their communities better, but the process can be discouraging. Few departments have the luxury of dedicated grant writing personnel to navigate what can be an intimidating process. Learning how to identify the perfect opportunities that align your department’s needs with the funder’s goals will increase the chances of your proposal getting funded.
Join Ed O’Carroll, Major (retired) from Fairfax County Police Department, NA Session 269, and Magnet Forensics Grant Writer, Holly Kennedy, as they discuss leveling up your agency’s technology stack through innovative proposals and with the assistance of the Magnet Forensics Grant Assistance Program.
Digital Breadcrumbs: How Law Enforcement Uses Online Activity to Track Suspects and Fugitives Equipping Officers with Modern Tools for Digital Investigations
Wednesday, June 4th, 2025 1:00PM EST
Today’s fugitives may ditch their phones and avoid using their real names — but they often will maintain their digital footprints. From active social media accounts to login data and IP addresses, online activity can provide key clues that help close cases.
In this session, sworn officers and digital data experts will walk through real-world investigations and describe how digital footprints helped law enforcement. These cases highlight how multi-agency collaboration, creative digital analysis, and persistent investigative work can turn digital clues into arrests. You’ll walk away with practical strategies, tools, and insights to apply these same digital tactics in your own investigations.
Ensuring Fair, Open Technology for Law Enforcement Agencies
Wednesday, June 11th, 2025 1:00PM EST
Law enforcement agencies deserve a fair market when selecting technology partners—one that ensures data openness, interoperability, and transparency. Yet, some vendors engage in restrictive practices that are designed to limit the freedom of agencies to utilize their data in the systems or tools of their choosing. For agencies, spotting these practices can be more difficult than it might seem – vendors will often commit to openness and offer open APIs but, in practice, are offering a framework that is subtly but deliberately designed to make it difficult, painful, or impossible to utilize your data outside of their solutions. In the short run, these tactics jeopardize critical operations and limit collaboration. In the long run, these tactics limit competition, innovation, and choice and harm public safety.
This webinar will arm agencies with the knowledge to push back against restrictive vendor practices and demand better. We’ll explore:
- Why truly open APIs and data ownership matter for mission-critical decision-making
- The tactics vendors use to obscure restrictive practices and how to spot red flags
- Actionable steps for ensuring fair and transparent contracts that set clear expectations and commitments
