Course Description 

Students will learn how to properly secure, preserve, and process video evidence from a variety of sources such as CCTV systems at crime scenes and accident scenes, police patrol car video systems, camera equipped mobile phones and PDAs, video oriented Internet social networking sites (e.g., YouTube and Vimeo), fixed and mobile investigative surveillance platforms, and consumer, "prosumer", and professional camcorders. Attendees will expand their skill sets to extract imagery, and thus investigative leads or intelligence, from video that might have otherwise been disregarded as worthless.

Participants will receive an overview of forensic video processing software including Cognitech TriSuite, and useful complimentary/supplemental low and no cost video software utilities and plug-ins. At the conclusion of this course, students will be evaluated on their ability to acquire and decode as necessary video from analog and digital sources, perform basic image processing and enhancement tasks, document their procedures and findings, and articulate those procedures to introduce their processed images and video as evidence.
