This class will train investigators and analysts how to

• Request, read, and analyze Call Detail Records provided by cellular providers

• Understand and plot cellular site locations to determine the location of a suspect during a given time frame

• Instruct first responders how to seize and preserve evidence on a cell phone until that phone can be fully analyzed.
