Guidelines for Electronic Evidence

Following on from my post on seizing internet evidence the US National Institute of Justice has released an updated version of its publication Electronic Crime Scene Investigation: A Guide for First Responders (2nd ed.).

The publication is designed to assist law enforcement officers in preserving an electronic crime scene and for recognizing, collecting, and safeguarding digital evidence.

The guide outlines types of digital evidence, digital investigative tools, as well as crime scene procedures and evidence analysis.

Another publication worth reading is the UK Association of Chief Police Officers  Good Practice Guide for Computer-Based Evidence.
