When cell phones or other cellular devices are involved in a crime or other incident, forensic examiners require tools that allow the proper retrieval and speedy examination of information present on the device. This report gives an overview of current forensic software, designed for acquisition, examination, and reporting of data discovered on cellular handheld devices, and an understanding of their capabilities and limitations.
Forensic Investigator must ensure the retrieval of data
without alteration!
– Imaging
• As most MS’s now have flash upgradeable Operating Systems, etc. this
is usually a straightforward process
• However, manufacturer’s are reluctant to provide access to the tools to
achieve this
• Independent tools known as Flashers are available for most
mainstream MS’s but have no recognised legal status in some parts of
the world.
– Data suites
• Provided by manufacturers
• Allow access to SMS/MMS, call registers, phonebooks, etc. as stored
on phone
• Cannot access memory directly
The Network Operators can provide detailed data on
calls made/received, message traffic, data transferred
and connection location/timing
• The HLR can provide;
– Customer name and address
– Billing name and address (if other than customer)
– User name and address (if other than customer)
– Billing account details
– Telephone Number (MSISDN)
– IMSI
– SIM serial number (as printed on the SIM-card)
– PIN/PUK for the SIM
– Subscriber Services allowed

Forensic Toxicology India
Forensic toxicology - It is the study of the harmful effects of chemicals on living systems with emphasis on the conditions under which they occur. The first challenge he faces is often the immediate identification of the toxin in a limited sample of blood, urine or gastric contents which can go on to clinch the case

Wildlife Forensic in India
Wildlife Institute of India has been receiving wildlife offence cases from various enforcement agencies since 1987. It was felt that enforcement of Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act (1972) is often hampered due to the lack of reference materials and methods necessary to identify the animal and plant species in various wildlife offence cases.
Therefore, a need was felt for strengthening the Wildlife Forensic capabilities so as to support the enforcement agencies in the proper implementation of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 in controlling the illegal wildlife trade.
Acollaborative project between US Fish and Wildlife Services and Wildlife institute of India was initiated in October 1995 to strengthen the Wildlife forensic capability at WII through Research and Development and then disseminating the knowledge to the various law enforcement agencies.
Wildlife Institute of India provided the logistic support as well as the work space for the forensic lab, while the infrastructure has been procured through Wildlife Forensic Project. The forensic laboratory became operational in January 1998.

Careers in Forensic Entomology
Forensic Entomologists are typically employed by academic institutions and not law enforcement agencies. They can provide valuable information to law enforcement, Medical Examiners, and Coroners in establishing a portion of the postmortem interval. Entomologists are experts at determining the age of insects on human remains. Such information can be extremely valuable when law enforcement investigators are attempting to establish a time frame to support or refute suspect and/or witness statements.
Forensic entomology is a young subfield, which is the application of this science to medicolegal death investigations. Forensic Entomologists estimate the post-mortem interval (PMI)—the amount of time that passes after the death of the victim. These scientists use insects to make such determinations, as well as to help reveal the probable cause, location, and time of death. Forensic Entomologists are also able to glean other valuable information by studying the insects that live on dead bodies. For example, insect evidence can be used to:
• deduce if a body was disturbed or moved after death
• identify a body by analyzing the DNA of flesh consumed by insects
• determine whether a dead individual used drugs by analyzing accumulated toxins in the insects that fed on the body
• establish whether a suspect was present at the scene of a crime
• ascertain the presence or position of wounds in badly decomposed bodies
Forensic Entomologists have expertise about the life cycle of insects that feed on decomposing flesh. They know that certain insects eat specific parts of bodies at particular intervals. Insects also develop through their life phases from egg to larvae to pupae to adults within a constant timeframe according to each insect species.

Grant Lets Cops Get Robot, Forensic Light, Video System
Night vision goggles, a mini robot and new video system are just some of the things local law enforcement officers will be getting soon.
The new equipment is made possible by a federal grant of about $183,000 for Potter County and the City of Amarillo to split....
All in hopes to keep the crime rate down.
Fighting crime in our area may soon get more efficient with tools like a new forensic light to use at crime scenes.
Cpl. Jerry Neufeld with the Amarillo Police Department says, "it's going to allow our special crimes unit to look at fibers, blood, body fluids that they wouldn't normally see."
LRPD hope you can help them identify a homicide victim in Wednesday's Capital City Cold Case
It's been exactly 8 years to the day, a woman's remains were found in Little Rock. On this 8-year anniversary, police still don't know who the victim is.
Thanks to technology and possibly "you," police hope someone watching will recognize their "Jane Doe."
Officer Bruce Jones with the Little Rock Police Department sits down with THV's Liz Massey to talk about the case.
Jones says officers received a call on August 18, 2002 after a woman walking her dog found human remains at 2772 Reservoir Road in Little Rock. The skeletal remains were found under some insulation.

The Role Of Entomology In Forensic Investigations
Prologue
This paper is intended for use by police and other emergency personnel who have occasion to be in contact to the recently and not so recently deceased. When first introduced I will mention the scientific name of the various species of insects which colonize bodies after death. After the first mention I will use the common name which is easier to both remember and pronounce.

DNA Evidence Could Link Montgomery To Officers’ Murders
Within hours of the time Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department officers Sean Clark and Jeff Shelton were shot in 2007, police had arrested their prime suspect, Demeatrius Montgomery.
Now, after what his attorneys describe as an intense 19-hour session with police and three-plus years with his lawyers, they said Montgomery has not uttered one word about the case. Attorneys are using that silence as the basis for their third request to have his mental capacity evaluated.

How DNA evidence creates victims of chance
CHARLES RICHARD SMITH has learned the hard way that you can prove almost anything with statistics. In 2009 a disputed statistic provided by a DNA analyst landed him with a 25-year jail sentence.
Smith was convicted of a sexual assault on Mary Jackson (not her real name) in Sacramento, California, which took place in January 2006. Jackson was sitting in a parking lot when a stranger jumped into her truck and made her drive to a remote location before forcing her to perform oral sex on him. When police arrested Smith and took a swab of cells from his penis, they found a second person's DNA mixed with his own.
Police launch review hoping to identify 1,000 dead bodies from past 50 years
Police said they want to ''put an end to the story'' for many families left bereft by the disappearance of loved ones who have never been traced.
Officers have launched a £50,000 review using the latest forensic techniques and public appeals aimed at putting names on the files of non-suspicious deaths.

| Careers in criminal justice |
A criminal defence lawyer represents an individual or a group of alleged offenders as their defense counsel in various courts including the Sessions Courts, the High Court and the Supreme Court. Lawyers who are part of the prosecution team defend the state and their duty is to see that the guilty are brought to book.
Anurag Kumar, a New Delhi-based Supreme Court advocate, says: “Criminal Law practice is interesting because each case is unique; the application of criminal law is based on facts of the case.”
