Electronic Crime Scene Investigation: A Guide for First Responders, originally written and approved by the Technical Working Group for Electronic Crime Scene Investigation several years ago has been updated and is available for download at:
http://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/219941.pdf
This guide is intended to assist State and local law enforcement and other first responders who may be responsible for preserving an electronic crime scene and for recognizing, collecting, and safeguarding digital evidence. It is not all inclusive but addresses situations encountered with electronic crime scenes and digital evidence. All crime scenes are unique and the judgment of the first responder, agency protocols, and prevailing technology should all be considered when implementing the information in this guide. First responders to electronic crime scenes should adjust their practices as circumstances—including level of experience, conditions, and available equipment—warrant. The circumstances of individual crime scenes and Federal, State, and local laws may dictate actions or a particular order of actions other than those described in this guide. First responders should be familiar with all the information in this guide and perform their duties and responsibilities as circumstances dictate.

The Zone Five Law Enforcement Academy in conjunction with the Hudson Mohawk Campus Security Consortium has asked that I solicit the listserv for interest in running a Basic Campus Law Enforcement Officer Training Academy. The academy will focus on developing basic law enforcement and community oriented policing skills necessary for patrol officers working in university and college campus settings. The program will be held this summer for a period of 8 weeks and provide 327 hours of accredited training. The program will include law enforcement training necessary for campus peace officer certification required by the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and would include emergency vehicle operation. The collaboration combines curricula from the Regional Police Academy. Instructors for the program will be DCJS certified police instructors from campus and local law enforcement agencies in the region. Housing and meal arrangements will be available. This is an ideal opportunity to provide high quality campus law enforcement training for sworn and non-sworn officers with instructors who work on campus settings every day.
The training will be held at the Zone 5 Law Enforcement Academy in Schenectady, NY. The Academy is tentatively scheduled to begin on June 15,2008 and will conclude on August 15th, 2008. The cost break down is listed below:
Non-Member price is $1,000. per student for this course. Meals & Lodging are available at Union College, Schenectady, NY for minimal cost.
If Interested please respond off line to me @ sickingw@union.edu Thank You. Bill
