Self-paced course: Preservation Letters

With the rise of electronic evidence and the likelihood that the crimes you’re investigating are conducted with or supported by the use of mobile devices, the Internet, or cloud-based applications, preservation letters provide a means to prevent the destruction of electronic records and buy an investigator time to retrieve and analyze potential evidence. This course focuses on the basics of preservation letters – what they are, their purpose, language to include, how to locate contact information, and how to submit them.
