Class Details

This intensive, one-day training provides investigators with the essential, practical knowledge and skills needed to effectively secure critical digital evidence from the world’s most commonly utilized providers, including Google, Apple, and major social media platforms. Participants will move beyond theory to master drafting legally sufficient and highly provider-specific search warrants, while also learning how to efficiently serve them through the correct legal request portals. By focusing on real-world applications and common pitfalls, this course ensures you can expedite investigations, avoid costly delays or outright denials of evidence, and confidently interpret, process, and successfully integrate complex data returns into your case files.

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Identify key technology providers and the specific types of digital data available from each.
  • Draft legally sufficient, technically accurate, and provider-specific warrants that satisfy both legal and corporate compliance requirements.
  • Serve and submit warrants efficiently through the appropriate legal request portals, including understanding Emergency Disclosure Request (EDR) procedures.
  • Interpret and process complex, non-standard digital data returns and reports from various providers.
  • Avoid common procedural, legal, and technical mistakes that cause delays, denials, or evidentiary challenges.

Students will be given a FREE list of investigative resources in the class and shown numerous free databases/resources during the class.
