Cybercrime ISSC451
(1) It’s not to say that local law enforcement efforts against digital crimes are limited,
its more or less based on population and knowledge. For this we need to look at the overall
population size and whether or not it would be fiscally responsible for a police department
to invest their limited funding on providing digital crime education to their officers (NIJ
2004). For major metropolitan areas there is a larger likelihood that they would have a
cyber-crimes division that would be called to the scene based on the crime. In a small town
or a rural area where the area to cover is vast but the population is low one can discern that
the local PD
would not be adept to handling a major cybercrime, but may have had some basic training
for a single site crime scene dealing with someone’s computer. Even so, because of their lack
of knowledge in analyzing the evidence they would more than likely send the evidence
collected off to a state-run investigation facility.
(2) The best practices for the collection, preservation, transportation, and storage of
electronic evidence is mostly dependent on the crime scene itself. Overall the process is
similar, at the beginning stages, as a traditional “physical” crime scene. As in you want to
isolate the crimes scene, and document and photograph the scene as well. From there the
lead
investigator on scene, or even a first responder, should be able to assess if further assistance
will be needed in the handling of the digital evidence. At a bare minimum the first
responder should know what to do in the even digital evidence is being destroyed.
After the initial scene has been secured, documented and assessed, the collection
process can begin. For mobile devices, they need to be powered off with the battery
removed
(if applicable). Computers, hard drives, discs, and storage mediums need to be obtained as
well,
along with any manuals of cable and plugs. But they need to be carefully documented to
their set-up, configuration, and any current activity that was noticed at the scene. From here
you need to store them in anti-static containers or bags as to not allow moisture or static
build-up (Simplified 2013). If the computer is actively running you want to try and keep it
running in case there is any evidence that may be lost upon powering it down. This is where
specialized professionals would come into play. After transport to the lab or facility the
evidence then
needs to be stored in secure containers within a shielded environment to ensure the
evidence’s preservation.
(3) Chain of custody is one of, if not, the most important aspects to evidence collection
and transportation. The chain of custody ensures the integrity of the evidence and the case as
a whole. As law enforcement professionals form both big and small entities would most
certainly agree in the assessment that if your chain of custody on evidence is compromised
then too the case is compromised (Taylor 2014). The biggest reason that the chain exists is to
