>> Police Officer Exam Sample Questions.
Do you really want to become a police officer? If so then you must understand a couple things there are a series of examinations that you'll have to pass before you can continue on in the recruiting process. One of the more difficult of them all is the Police exam. In fact, the police written test has been responsible for eliminating around 50% of all applicants.To be honest with you a top score on the exam does not come easy, you'll have to work your behind off by getting a good police test prep guide.
As one who took the police exam before, I thought it would be a good idea to share some of my experiences with potential recruits. Below I've completed a police exam practice question. Carefully read the sample test question given below, and use good judgement to come up with the right course of action.
Law enforcement exam practice question:
On the first day of January, several killings took place at many different places within city limits. Based on several eyewitness statements, detectives believe the same individual is responsible for all the killings. Police Officers are provided with the following...

Following, is the full text of the announcement e-mail sent to the White House e-mail list by John Brennan, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism:
* * *
Dear Friend,
Cybersecurity matters to all of us. Protecting the Internet is critical to our national security, public safety, and our personal privacy and civil liberties. It's also vital to President Obama's efforts to strengthen our country -- from the modernization of our health care system, to the high-tech job creation central to our economic recovery.

Become a Police Officer - Qualities Needed & Requirements.
January 6, 2010
There are many different reasons why somebody may chose to join the police force and many different qualities needed to become a police officer. The requirements are very tight for a very good reason and the safety and lives of the public are on the shoulders of the police.
So what are the qualities needed to become a police officer and how can you make sure you pass the tests?
Firstly, the physical tests are possibly the easiest aspect for most potential officers and any person with a moderately good level of fitness can pass quite easily. There is a strength and endurance section and neither of these is particularly difficult. If you think you are either weak or lacking in stamina, then a bit of work in the gym will help overcome this issue.
The ability to work under pressure, perhaps even immense pressure is also a very good quality which will make you stand out from the other applicants. This is tested in the role play scenarios but if you can demonstrate a great ability to keep calm then you will really stand out.
On a similar note, the ability to take responsibility and to act with authority...
The history of police sirens - The colors of cop lights.
December 25, 2009
The history of police sirens.
The sirens we hear today have more than two centuries of history behind it. The police siren that we see in emergency vehicles today started as two simple disks that were placed coaxially at an air outlet. Though the basic sound emitting principle is incorporated to a large extent in today's sirens also, most sirens are today electronic ones that can produce a wide variety of sounds.
The word siren first originated in Greek mythology and was also later used to refer to mermaids. Language and literature have used the word siren as indicative of dangerous temptations. The siren as we understand today is not something dangerous, but is generally a warning signal either to stop or proceed, based upon who has used it. So, though the siren is in itself not dangerous, ignoring a siren, especially a police siren, can have dangerous consequences.
The first models of sirens developed during the early 19th century consisted of a pneumatic tube and two disks. The disks were perforated and one of the disks rotated. As the air flowed from the tube to the fixed disk and the other disk rotated, a sound was produced by...
The Police Recruitment Process - What's Involved In Police Training ?
December 13, 2009
The Police force in the UK is one of the biggest employers and one of the very best places to work if your are the right person for the job. Many people spend their whole careers in the force and others have come for a change from the old nine to five routine.
You can find people from absolutely all walks of life in the UK police force, which has to be one of the most diverse and interesting organisations in the world. Many people therefore are interested in going through the police recruitment process.
There are a number of benefits to working for the UK police force. The salary is very fair and increases year on year. This makes the Police force incredibly attractive as both a well paid occupation and a source of job security. In such very difficult times of uncertainty and unemployment, this is an incredibly valuable aspect indeed.
The retirement arrangements aren't so ugly either and the current age for retirement for the UK police force is 55. The pension package isn't too unattractive either. This adds up to a very big incentive and there aren't many people who could find this unappealing.
Civil litigation is usually the result of a person who feels they have suffered harm due to the negligence of another person or organization. Claims will involve seeking damages as a result of such judicial findings as failing to provide a standard of care that can include failure to provide appropriate medical treatment, failure to prevent probable injuries, deliberate misconduct, failure to provide the right medical test results...etc. An essential component of civil litigation that involves physical and emotional damage is the medical expert witness.
The medical expert witness provides evidence and testimony for either the defense or plaintiff in a case. He or she is also used in criminal cases where one is accused of committing a crime that involved injury or death. Expert witnesses are normally enlisted to testify in such cases as vehicle accidents, medical malpractice claims, slip and fall incidents, improper medical diagnosis or treatment, and much more. Medical expert witnesses are enlisted by the state such as in a criminal trial, or they are used by either the defense or plaintiff in a civil trial.
There are many advantages to becoming a medical expert witness. The fee one receives can be quite substantial. One can...
Witnessing or being a victim of crime can be a very traumatic experience. If one witnesses a crime, it is important to make a note of the details of the crime scene and even the criminal act. This will ensure that the accused gets a fair trial and legitimate evidence is submitted at trial. Because there is so much crime taking place everyday across the country, it is important to be prepared in the event that you suddenly find yourself a witness to a crime.
Some factors to notice when a crime occurs include:
1. Physical Description of the Suspect: If you actually see the perpetrator of the crime, you should make a note of his or her physical appearance. This includes the height, ethnicity, gender, weight, and any unusual way of running or walking. You should also make note of the clothing and any unique characteristics such as a logo, particular word, sports team name..etc. Are the clothes casual, formal, dirty, torn, bloody..etc? The facial features are also important and include complexion, hair color, eye color, hair length, body hair..etc. As well, note any unusual traits such as tattoos, piercings, unusual hair cut, deformities, scars..etc. As well, note if...
REGULATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN CANADA
November 27, 2009
From: Tamoikins Museum - To: Government of Canada
REGULATION AND MANAGEMENT OF CULTURAL PROPERTY IN CANADA
Cultural property, more known as art, antiquity and collectibles, is an inseparable part of every nation. Virtually every government, business or individual has contact with objects of culture and heritage. Publicly owned cultural property located on city streets, in museums, and government institutions is the key source of revenue for every municipality nationwide. For the past decade the international market of art, antiquity and collectibles has quietly grown into an economical giant. It has become a multibillion dollar sector, far exceeding gold and diamond markets. That said, it remains one of the least regulated and the last unregulated markets in North America.
Officially, the global market of cultural property is estimated at 30 to 50 billion US dollars (yearly circulation). Because most of the transactions are conducted under the shadow of privacy, no one truly knows the actual value of this economic sector. Most recent estimates place it roughly at 200 billion dollars per year. Absence of necessary laws and regulatory systems provide perfect conditions for wide range of criminal activities on all levels. Unfortunately, Canada is no exception.
Sex Offender Criminal Checks - how to protect your children.
November 21, 2009
Sex Offender Criminal Checks: Now Internet Services Can Help You Keep Your Children Safer
One of the most disturbing trends of our time is the increase in sex offenses against our children.
A study by the US Department of Justice found - 67% of all victims of sexual assault were juveniles, under 18 years old - Thirty-four percent of the victims were younger than 12 - One of every seven was less than 6 years old This is such a tragedy but at least parents are becoming more aware of the problem. They're taking steps to safeguard their children by keeping them from going out alone or from going anywhere unsupervised.
If you're a parent, now there's even more you can do to protect your children.
How the Internet Can Help You Protect Your Children
Your computer and the Internet can play a major part in helping you keep your children safe. If you're like most folks, you probably have at least some experience looking up information online, using Google or Yahoo search perhaps.
What you may not realize is how much information you can uncover online about sex offenders and other criminals who pose a threat to your family....
Not many people take Canadians very seriously. After all, they are best known for their Mounties - strangely dressed police officers who claim always to "get their man" - and their ice hockey teams' willingness to lose gracefully to US opposition. Fortunately, they are blessed with a good sense of humor and tolerate the gentle fun poked at them.
But, like people everywhere, they also get injured and fall sick. Their interests are protected by a federal body called the Therapeutic Products Directorate (TPD). Essentially, this is the same as the FDA on drugs and medical devices. There's a separate organization to safeguard the public on food.
The TPD licenses the sale of all products used as treatments. These decisions are "evidence-driven", i.e. all manufacturers have to run clinical trials to collect evidence that their product is safe and does what it's supposed to do with only a few mild side effects.
Until recently, the TPD only licensed the use of a once-daily version of tramadol for moderate pain. Conventional wisdom said that the level of relief tapered off too much as the day went by and the concentration of the drug in the blood stream...
The City of London Police, also referred to as Scotland Yard - due to the location of its former headquarters - was relocated to New Scotland yard in Westminster in the 1960s.
The Metropolitan London Police Force:
It was Sir Robert Peel who originally founded the Metropolitan Force, further to his police Bill in 1828, concluding in the formation of the Metropolitan Police Force on the 29th September 1829. Sir Charles Rowan and Richard Mayne were appointed as its first leaders, then known as the Justices of the Peace.
At this time, the main qualifications needed to be a Police Officer was for applicants to be aged between 21 and 27, to be over 5 foot 9 inches tall (although the minimum in the Thames Division at this time was 5 foot 7 inches). They must also have to be able to read, write legibly and spell and be generally intelligent. The applicants would have to have also been free from any bodily complaint, such as flat footedness, stiff joints, narrow chest and no facial deformities!
Before the current Greater London boundaries were set in the 1960s, the force served a far larger geographical area, to include parts of neighbouring Surrey,...
As children, we had grand dreams of saving the world and becoming superheroes. We would don capes and run around having a row with the bullies. Now that we are much older, we have realized that this world is not about capes and super powers. There are bullies around but we do not have the super powers to bring them down. We can however, be a police officer and help these bullies to put behind bars. You can still do something to save the world from the bad guys.
This world has become so festooned with crimes that there never seems to be enough police officers to keep things in order. As soon as a criminal is caught, more seems to crop up. This is why police recruitment is being promoted to engage more people who are willing to stop these criminals from doing more crimes and to help uphold the law. If you are still holding on to that dream of becoming crime-buster then it is time that you make that dream into reality.
Recently, the European Commission released a report that Britain is having the worst crime rate. Britain has a record of 1.49% for every 100,000 people...
In the UK it is standard practice for police to work for 30 years, after which they are eligible for a full police pension. In England and Wales alone there are over 142,000 police officers and given that many would have started their journey in the police in their late teens or early twenties, it means they can expect to retire in their early 50's.
This is a lot earlier than most of us can look forward to, and is indeed a comparatively young age in which to find yourself at the end of your career.
So, what can a retired police officer do next? Many will of course enjoy their free time pursuing a variety of leisure interests, but for others, this can be a slightly boring or frustrating time and they may look to continue contributing towards society. The value ex-police officers can offer is sometimes unfairly undervalued but with an ever ageing workforce, their skills and experience are being increasingly seen as an extremely valuable asset to businesses in the private sector as well as within a continuing public servant role.
In fact, Scotland's police chiefs have recently announced they are considering plans to draft retired police...
TEXAS RANGERS: The History and Legend of the Texas Rangers
July 15, 2009
The Texas Rangers lawmen have come to be synonymous with law and order in the old American West. Indeed, they are as legendary as Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Here's a little synopsis of their history.
The Rangers are considered to be the oldest organized law enforcement agency in the United States, and they can trace their origins back to the original Anglo settlement of Texas in 1835. It was Stephen F. Austin himself who organized the first group of 60 or so men; but within two years, the Rangers were a mighty force of 300.
They were a rough and tumble paramilitary-style band of tough men whose primary responsibility was to protect Anglo settlers from Indian attack. However, they were soon used for political and military purposes when Mirabeau B. Lamar (who succeeded Sam Houston as President of the then Republic of Texas) recruited the Rangers to wage war against the Indians. The Rangers were largely successful and the Cherokee and Comanche were greatly weakened as a result of their efforts.
It was the Rangers who perfected the technique of shooting at enemies from horseback. They used the new five-shot Colt revolver...
This article is to inform you, as a future self defense product purchaser, the differences between 2 products, both of which use electricity as a means of protection.
Main Differences
Many people would love to have a Taser, but some cannot afford one. What they don't realize is that a stun gun is a good alternative, and at a much lower price. They both utilize a means of electricity to temporarily impair an attacker.
The main difference between a Taser and a stun gun is that the Taser will let you take down an attacker from 15 feet away while a stun gun requires close contact. The stun gun requires you to be at least within an arms length so that you can make contact between the stun gun and the person. On the other hand, the Taser shoots out 2 probes that are wired to the product which will travel up to 15 feet. One good feature that the stun gun has over the Taser is that you can always activate the stun gun and scare the attacker with merely the noise the stun gun makes. This makes a dramatic lightning effect and is very loud which can deter...

Criminal Defendants On Trial: The Parties, Charges, Arraignment & Pleas
May 4, 2009
The Parties
The defendant is the accused person against whom the criminal charges have been brought. The Defense team is headed by the attorney and may include an investigator, paralegal and other support personnel who work at the lawyer's direction to develop the particular case strategy.
The plaintiff is the other party to the court case. This is the party who has lodged the charges against the defendant and commenced the criminal court case. This party appears on the pleadings as the State of … This party is represented by the prosecuting authority which may be referred to by many names such as the State, State Attorney, District Attorney or D.A. [in some states], Prosecutor, Prosecution or Prosecuting Attorney. The State Legislature defines and writes the criminal laws that apply to that state. When these laws are broken, it is the State that has been injured. Therefore, it is the State that is the plaintiff in the case. It is the State that prosecutes the defendant for breaking its law.
The Charges
Most state cases are commenced by drafting and filing an Information, which is a written allegation that begins the case in court. The information is a...
Most people don't differentiate between civil law and criminal law, partly because the majority of news coverage in the media is dedicated to criminal law cases. Most people have heard of a civil lawsuit, but they aren't really sure how the two are different. Civil cases aren't as widely publicized because they don't ever have the same dramatic punch that often comes with a big criminal case.
It may come as a surprise to many people just how different the two types of suits are - here are some of the biggest differences between criminal and civil law cases.
The Verdict and Subsequent Ruling
This is the major reason why criminal cases are so much more publicized and advertised in the media. The defendant in a criminal case runs much more of a risk, a guilty verdict can bring with it several different forms of punishment depending upon the severity of the crime committed.
Crimes are broken down into two sub categories, first are the felonies, which are the larger offenses and which will most likely result in more severe punishments. Second are misdemeanors, which are the smaller offenses and will likely yield sentences that are not quite as harsh....
Surveillance System: Considering A Home Camera System?
January 7, 2009
Considering having a Camera System Installed in your Home?
Have you ever been robbed? Are you thinking about installing a Camera System in your home? Do you have an alarm? Do you feel an alarm is no good because you are too far away from a Police Station and help would arrive too late?
We have a 65 year old customer that had her life-long collection of jewelry stolen from her home. She lost about $35,000 worth of rings, necklaces, and bracelets; she expressed to me it was not about the money, but it was the sentimental value and she now feels unsafe in what appears to be a very secure neighborhood. She realizes she must add some security. She told me she called the police several times following the robbery, and it was very tough to even get them to come to her house. I certainly do not think this is typical, but it has made her think an alarm will not help her because she does not feel confident the police will respond quickly enough if the alarm goes off. She also has something personal against the robbers and wants to catch them if they ever come back....
"We began to discuss the many books about cops that had been written over the last few years, and it became apparent to us that there wasn't a current book out that gave anyone interested in police work any insight or guidelines on what to expect in a career as a police officer.
"Now that's changed with the book SO YOU WANT TO BE A COP. We are proud of this book and feel that it really portrays the job for what it is and not some Hollywood version of life as a cop." -- Frank Pickens and Jeff Bonilla
The Oral Board
Once you have completed the written and agility tests, which are almost always pass/fail, you will be scheduled for the most important part of the initial testing process, the oral board. The purpose of the oral board is to see how the candidate interacts and converses with the panel members, and to get an idea of the candidate's overall reasoning abilities and common sense. The initial impression you leave with the board members will be crucial in determining your final ranking on the eligibility list.
Public Communication has enjoyed a big boost with the advent of the Internet and Public Police Records is one of the biggest beneficiaries. Through this medium, they are now reaching more people more efficiently with more effect. The main objective of posting these periodical Free Police Reports publicly is to keep people informed of arrests made by the authorities. In a way, those who might be having ulterior ideas are also warned.
A Police Arrest Records is a record by law enforcement authorities of apprehensions that lead to detention or confinement. It constitutes a list of all arrestees with their personal details plus other information surrounding the incidents together with the ensuing charges if any. Individually, they form part of the Public Arrest Records of the offender.
Public Arrest Reports are commonly referred to as Public Police Reports as they are predominantly generated by the Police. Having that said, there are other enforcement authorities that are also in the capacity to do so. Although there may be variations from one state to another, it is also a general practice that Public Arrest Reports are befittingly taken charge of by the Police.
By procedures, a Police Report is prepared shortly...
Do you have access to justice? Do you know your legal rights? You are probably just like I used to be when I had to answer no to these questions. Yes, help is available, but who should you call? Don't you have to consider the costs before you call? If you don't know your rights, you don't have any rights.
Amazingly, 80% of the people in our country today are without legal help and guidance. What makes this even worse is that our society is growing more litigious day by day. The top 10% have legal counsel because they can afford to keep an attorney on retainer. The lower 10% can't afford an attorney, so they are provided one by the state. That leaves the 80% majority. Going along through life not knowing their legal rights. Not being able to afford an attorney for anything unless it's a "life or death" matter. No longer does this have to be true of you.
KNOW YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
Things to look for to help you know your legal rights:
1. Preventative Legal Services - Toll-free telephone consultations with a lawyer on unlimited matters for personal or business questions. Letters/Phone calls made...
British Police Driving Accidents On The Increase -- An Article by Danielle Fletcher
July 6, 2008
Most drivers are aware of the rules of the road, and know that driving carelessly can lead to accidents. Driving whilst speaking on a mobile phone or eating food can lead to drivers becoming distracted and unable to drive properly which increases the likelihood of an accident.
When an accident occurs, and injuries have been sustained then the police will often attend the accident scene. In order to reach the scene promptly police officers may use their blue lights to cut through traffic and drive at higher speeds but this too can lead to more accidents. Whilst police officers do have to undergo specialist training the number of accidents caused by police cars on the road has increased over the years. These accidents have resulted in a number of injuries from whiplash to broken bones and in some cases even death.
Figures revealed in Parliament show that the number of car accidents involving members of parts of the police force have increased by over thirty percent in one year. The Home Office statistics show that in 2007/2007 there were 656 road traffic accidents which involved the police, which is a big increase from the reported figure of 472 the previous...
Siberian Huskies are beautiful dogs that have been bred over the years for the specific task of pulling sleds over long distances in the snow. These dogs are known for their thick fur coats and friendly demeanor. Huskies can now be found in homes all over the world and are known as great family dogs. When considering whether or not to bring a Siberian Husky into your home, it is important to keep in mind that the characteristics that have been bred into these dogs for so many generations can create special challenges if you are not prepared for them. Some of these characteristics and suggestions for dealing with them appear below.
1.Siberian Huskies are working dogs and were bred to endure a very high level of physical activity. It is important to understand that your new Husky will need to engage in vigorous exercise for at least 30 minutes a day every day. You should be prepared for at least one brisk walk per day so that your Husky has an outlet for its high level of energy. Another option is to put your Husky on a treadmill if you are not able to walk him every day. Huskies...
Forensic Graphology - Comparing Forged Signatures and Handwriting by Zamir Sivan - zamir graphology
May 4, 2008
Thousands of signatures are forged daily in a conscious or proactive manner. Forged signatures are popular with checks, contracts, agreements, wills and testaments, credit vouchers, corporate agreements, paintings and more.
Bank tellers verify customer signatures with a short glance - if the general form seems similar and the signature is confirmed to be that of the account holder, the signature is approved, even if it was forged and the forger managed to discover the general form of the signature.
Some signatures are seemingly simple to forge, but the simplicity lies in the ability to recreate the general and visual shape of the signature. Forgers do not consider all of the unique graphic and motor aspects relating to the specific writers; elements that cannot be imitated or observed with an unprofessional eye. These elements include, inter alia, writing pressure, structure of the beginning and the ending of lines comprising the signature, line flow and quaking, specific and repetitive graphic elements, signature angle, differences of length and height, writing speed, ink flow, etc.
A graphologist specializing in comparing handwritings, follows the motor nature of writing and the shapes that are characteristic of a specific writer, comparing the elements to the signature or...
A recent article by the Pasadena Star-News highlights a recent trend on those involved in prostitution to use Internet services, such as Craigslist.org, to advertise their services.
According to the Star-News article, in December, Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputies, other local law enforcement agencies, as well as federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, conducted an undercover sting, entitled "Operation Red Light" in the San Gabriel Valley. The operation targeted prostitution in general, and specifically prostitutes that advertise their services on line on sites such as Craigslist. According to investigators, these on-line ads state how many "roses" - i.e. dollars - the women cost, and offered a description of their bodies. Some of the ads included pictures. During the two-day sting, authorities called numbers that were posted on the ads, set up times to meet the women and met them at the location the women suggested. Authorities discovered townhomes and apartments that served as brothels, complete with hidden condoms, dozens of rolled towels, tissue boxes, bottles of lotion and baby oil. Authorities also made arrests at more "traditional" locations, such as hotel rooms and massage parlors. According to the Star-News, 37 people were arrested in the operation, and one human trafficking...
RCMP Review of Allegations Concerning Inuit Sled Dogs
February 17, 2008
An RCMP review team has been created to conduct a comprehensive review of RCMP actions concerning Inuit sled dogs in the eastern Arctic between 1950 and 1970. The team has been dedicated to this review since Spring 2005. This team is made up of resources from the RCMP National Aboriginal Policing Services and various experts in research methodology at RCMP National Headquarters, to ensure adherence to qualitative and quantitative research methodology standards. More research is necessary and is continuing. The review team will have a final report on this matter in May 2006.
RCMP research concerning the context of life for the Inuit and their sled dogs shows that the sled dogs fulfilled a key role in the eastern Arctic, in terms of transportation, hunting, homing instincts in blizzard conditions, search and rescue, warmth and companionship, and even as a food source, when the harshest conditions prevailed. The health of the Inuit sled dog was often a concern in the eastern Arctic because when their dogs were afflicted with canine distemper, canine hepatitis, rabies, and famine or, when the dogs were left to scavenge for themselves during the summer months, this had a serious effect on the livelihood of all...
Benefits of Having Your Dog Training for Law Enforcement by Orlando Smith
February 9, 2008
In recent years, dogs have become an intricate part of law enforcement. Dog training for law enforcement purposes is critical in preparing them for their role in law enforcement. This type of training will have your canine performing more then basic guard duties, security, protection or agility exercises. In law enforcement your k9 duties are very clear, and the training program is designed to assist them in performing their duties to their best ability. All k-9 breeds have a unique sense of smell; dog training can hone those skills to find anyone whether it is a hundred yards away or in a place that no one would think to look.
Police canine training is very rigid because the dogs will be dealing with life and death situations. They are trained to find evidence at a crime scene, or to find lost or missing people miles away from where they were last seen. Dog training also teaches the dogs how to handle any type of disturbance including domestic.
There are many duties that a police dog must perform to be a viable part of police units, and the right training is critical. One of the toughest duties on a police dog...
Anticipating Legal Needs In An Economic Depression by Gibson Sebastian
February 3, 2008
Not only is the word "Recession" being used more and more frequently by analysts, we are now starting to also hear the word "Depression" as a possible outcome of this economic crisis facing the United States and possibly the rest of the world.
As this article is being written, the stock markets around the world have started to fall more precipitously with most of the markets in Europe, Asia, China, Latin America and Canada falling from 5% to 8% overnight. U.S. markets are expected to fall over 500 points when the U.S. markets open again for business on the Tuesday following the Martin Luther King holiday.
Clearly as others have already stated, we are already in a housing depression. If indeed the recession in the U.S. causes other countries to similarly suffer a recession and if the U.S. then falls into a depression not seen since the 1920s in this country, what type of legal ramifications can lawyers expect to see in the U.S.? In a depression when money is scarce and job security is non-existent, lawyers can expect new legal business to all but dry up. That is almost a given. Hiring a injury lawyer to pursue a...
From person-to-person communication, to address book organization and on-the-go computing, cell phones are powerful, highly mobile devices. The set of features and capabilities can vary depending on the make and model of the phone. However, one aspect unifies all cell phone technologies. With the push of a button or the touch of a screen, digital trails are created, ripe for the picking by computer forensic investigators in litigation or internal investigations.
Recently, the Computer Security Resource Center of the U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a new piece of research entitled, "Guidelines on Cell Phone Forensics." This document outlines general principles and provides technical information intended to aid organizations evolve policies and procedures for preserving, acquiring, and examining digital evidence found on cell phones. These guidelines are in draft form, and computer forensic specialists and members of the law enforcement community are encouraged to provide feedback.
As outlined in the NIST research, potential cell phone evidence may include:
1. Subscriber/Device Identifiers - These entries are helpful in identifying the owner of the phone, and other background information such as date/time/language settings, billing and usage information, and location tracking.
2. Phonebook Entries - Phonebook entries may contain more...
