Leveraging Technology in Civil Rights Investigations explores how investigators can use technology to more effectively gather, review, manage, and document digital evidence. As civil rights investigations increasingly involve text messages, social media posts, recordings, and other digital materials, investigators must understand both the opportunities and challenges technology presents. This training will cover practical tools and strategies for evidence collection, working with available IT resources, authenticating digital evidence, and managing large volumes of information. Participants will also discuss considerations related to artificial intelligence, sensitive digital evidence, accessibility in investigations, and secure communication throughout the investigation process.
After completing this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Identify ways technology can support civil rights investigations, including tools for gathering and organizing digital evidence
- Recognize key considerations when managing digital evidence, including sensitive materials and recordings
- Describe basic methods for reviewing and authenticating digital evidence, such as metadata and reverse image searches
- Apply strategies for managing and organizing large amounts of digital evidence
- Incorporate secure communication and accessibility tools to support effective and equitable investigative processes
