What the DFIR analyst does during an IR engagement (not only equal to a firefighter or detective) is not the same as what the management should do in handling an incident or what the GRC should do in managing an incident. Why do some experts write a playbook to combine every aspect of DFIR for the technical team to follow? Why does the procurement write a tender to ask a service provider certified with CISM/CISSP or equipped with digital forensic tools to do the IR tasks like this?

Most police critical incidents are investigated by homicide detectives. Investigating an officer involved critical incident requires specialized knowledge and training. Officer-involved critical incidents are not the same as the crimes detectives typically investigate, thus additional perspectives and knowledge may be needed. The review and analysis of critical incidents are complex and require specialized training. To complete a fair, impartial, and thorough investigation, it is crucial to gain the knowledge to do so. Critical incidents like in-custody deaths, use of force, especially use of deadly force, have been heavily scrutinized both inside and outside of the law enforcement community. Due to the highly sensitive nature of these investigations, it is imperative that they are conducted with the utmost thought and professionalism. This training course is designed for anyone involved in the investigation or review of officer-involved critical incidents. While taking this course, participants will gain knowledge and a better understanding of the investigation process and what occurs during each phase of an investigation. The discussions and presentations of this training course will include the latest research and information regarding officer-involved incidents. This training course is valuable for everyone, from the newest detective to the most experienced investigator. https://lnkd.in/gxa28yCz
