Training at Hawks Consulting

According to industry analysts there are 16 cellular connected devices per household in the United States. Cellular phone records, device extractions, social media returns, and other electronic data have become as, if not more, important than DNA and ballistics in civil and criminal cases. Now more than ever it is imperative to understand what those records really mean. Incorrect analysis leads to wrongly implicating the innocent and wrongly excluding the guilty from an investigation. Our goal is to educate law enforcement and the private sector to ensure we keep our communities safe and maintain an even playing field with checks and balances. Courses are separated between law enforcement and non-law enforcement only to give students the comfort to freely ask questions without worry that another student will use it against them. Electronic records tell the story of a person or device, they are not “prosecution records” or “defense records” they simply are what they are.

Our primary instructors have over 68 years of law enforcement experience. Our Subject Matter Experts have testified for the prosecution, the defense, and in civil cases throughout the country. Come learn from the best.

NEW - Digital Triad: Call Detail Records, Device Extractions, and Cloud Data

In today’s era, where our digital footprints are as telling as our physical ones, the art of cellular investigations has become paramount in weaving through the complex tapestry of digital evidence. We will delve into the multidimensional world of digital communication—where cell phone records from the carrier, data extracted from the handset, and data stores by applications in the cloud all interlace, creating a rich fabric of potential evidence. This class is geared toward attorneys and investigators.

Wiretap and Electronic Surveillance Investigation

“Wiretap investigations are hard and expensive” is the first thing that typically comes to mind when weighing your options on a case. This is true but, a suspect admitting guilt in their own voice is also the most powerful evidence you can put in front of a jury. State regulations vary but all are based on the Federal Title III wiretap statute. Demystify these investigations by learning how to initiate them, types of wire intercepts available, legal requirements, call detail records / social media record analysis, case management, documentation, and strategies to further your wire. A successful wiretap investigation will be presented as a case study.

Cell Phone Technology - Basic

This class is designed to give you an understanding of how cell phones work, how they interact with the network, how those interactions are recorded by the carriers, and what it all means. If you intend to testify to what records mean, you will have to understand how and why they were created. As cell phone providers move to smaller 5g antennas and deploy more micro cells and Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS) determining what a cell site transaction means is becoming more and more complicated. If you understand the technology you will understand what it means to your case. Dual certification with LeadsOnline and Hawks Consulting.

Google Returns

There are about 1.8 billion active Gmail accounts in the world and Google, the creators of Android, is responsible for more than 80% of the world’s search history. The company is one of the largest data aggregators on the planet so don’t you think it is time to mine the miner? A Gmail address is not required to activate an Android device but it is to use the Play Store where applications are downloaded from. Learn what data Google retains about its users and how that data can help prove your case. Want to write a legally defensible geofence warrant where public safety and data privacy are the top concerns? In this class we will explore how to craft your warrant, the hidden gems typically included in a Google return, and the obvious gold mines of location data, search history, and device information.
