The leadership mindset: from call to court and beyond

Our new presentation, “The leadership mindset: From call to court and beyond,” highlights the role of executive leadership in effectively managing digital forensics throughout the investigative process. From the initial response at a crime scene to securing convictions in court, law enforcement leaders play a critical role in ensuring that digital evidence is identified, preserved, and analyzed with the utmost accuracy and integrity. This presentation will highlight how law enforcement leaders can use digital strategies to improve solve rates and locate missing persons, ensuring precise handling of evidence from the crime scene to the courtroom.

Key topics include understanding digital evidence, the impact of executive leadership on complex cases, fostering collaboration among law enforcement and forensic teams, and preparing digital evidence for court. A case study on the 2021 Nelson Alexander Sr. murder exemplifies how leadership and digital forensics can drive successful resolutions. Attendees will learn best practices to address challenges, build public trust, and secure case outcomes.
