Digital Forensics & Cell Site Analysis - A Guide for the Prosecution & Defence - Learn Live

Introduction

Cell site analysis is an ever-evolving area of expertise.

‘Correctly’ and equally ‘incorrectly’ presented cell site analysis can have huge implications for the criminal justice system. As mobile phones have become integrated into peoples’ lives with phones able to tell the user’s life story - where they live, where and when they work, when they sleep, there is now always phone evidence available.

This virtual classroom session is a must for both prosecution and defence in the court process as well as those involved in investigations.

Based on real life examples, this session will provide you with an introduction to the basis of cell site analysis and how it can be used evidentially.

• The limitations of cell site evidence
