Course Descriptions

The following descriptions describe the various courses offered by the Rocky Mountain RCFL throughout the year. Please check the On-Line Registration web site for additional courses and dates.

ImageScan

The FBI's Computer Analysis Response Team (CART) developed the ImageScan system to help investigators locate the presence of picture files that may contain contraband on a computer. This system allows the investigator to view a variety of graphic formats during a consensual search, and protects valuable digital evidence by booting up a computer using the Linux operating system. After mounting the hard drive in a “read only” manner, ImageScan prompts the investigator to search for picture files only. During this process, the tool logs every step taken by the investigator, further documenting what occurred during the search process.

Law enforcement personnel that conduct on-site investigations for child pornography are encouraged to take the ImageScan training. To receive a notification regarding the training's upcoming availability, click here and provide your contact information.
