I should have mentioned in my original post that we are already in the process of acquiring the hardware, software, training, and procedural support needed for digital evidence. An RFP was written, proposal solicited, specifications developed, and a bid award made.

That makes it easy for you to add names to your photos. And it helps you find the people you’re looking for — even in the largest photo libraries.<BR/><BR/>Places<BR/>Explore photos by location.<BR/><BR/>With Places, you can organize and explore your photos by where they were taken.<BR/><BR/>iPhoto helps you explore your travel photos with a new feature called Places.

(YES ... but) The first part is to shut you up. The second part is to reverse and dismiss the initial person's point of view.<BR/><BR/>RE: burning digital images to CD - Not to mention the fact that CDs degrade after time. There's extra bits in there that help the drive (reader) Error-correct, but (yes...but) The error-correction doesn't always work. CRC Error anyone?<BR/><BR/>RE:secure log - not only a secure log of 5-Ws ... you want to have a secure log of "versions" or "enhancements"! Augmenting TrueCrypt could help with part of that security/storage solution. I'd love to be the fly on the wall in the scalability discussions of any technical solutions though - especially if you're able to talk openly without concern of a budget (before pairing it back down to reality).<BR/><BR/>RE:sneaker-net - Great joke, that was funny.

Oh, and a rendering/dog food plant, the smell of which wake up a tired bicyclist as they approach Crete on Hwy. 33. On really hot days, when the wind is just right, the odor could just about empty your stomach, but I digress.<BR/><BR/>I think I started the digital camera thing, figuring it was just the expense of procuring the cameras that was the issue, not knowing the rest of it. Is there also a chain of evidence concern with the digital images, in case a case goes to trial (which most don't) with a well-funded defense? In any case, the whole nuts-and-bolts background of what a law enforcement agency does, not just the stuff ripe for dramatic adaptation, is quite interesting to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225570644228196036.post-79196164207819722582009-01-06T07:42:00.000-06:002009-01-06T07:42:00.000-06:007:28-Why is it that when someone says, "Not to kic...7:28-<BR/><BR/>Why is it that when someone says, "Not to kick a dead horse," they proceed to do exactly that.
