Inside the labs

The forensic workstation, its tools, and the lab guide run in the browser. Learners image drives and analyze phone evidence with Autopsy and Guymager, tools working examiners use.

Add digital evidence to your training

Tactics and crisis training prepare officers for the call. These courses cover the digital evidence that comes with it: phones, body camera footage, doorbell video. Trainees use forensic workstations in a browser, with no lab for you to build or run.

Labs in the browser

Learners work on forensic workstations that run in a web browser. No installs, no hardware, and no lab to maintain.

From patrol to the evidence room

Foundational training for officers who encounter digital evidence, and practitioner training for the people who seize and preserve it.

Self-paced or taught

Learners can enroll on their own, or an instructor can run a course as a class. Groups of five or more can request a quote.

NDG Online or NETLAB+

The courses run on NDG Online. The labs are also NETLAB+ supported content for institutions that host their own lab systems.
