Specific technical limitations that investigators need to understand to properly handle and review video
Opportunities that investigators can leverage to get more out of their video evidence
Motion & Force interpretation of video images

Participants begin each section with a short, instructor-led overview of an investigative technique or issue before venturing into hands-on exercises from real-world Major Crime casework where video evidence played a critical role.

Through step-by-step exercises, students become proficient in best practice methods for interrogating video evidence and producing final observations, shot lists, and reports in preparation for charge approval and trial.
