Analysis of the ‘Open Source Internet Research Tool’: a usage perspective from UK Law Enforcement
'Springer Science and Business Media LLC', 2020Co-Authors: Williams J., Stephens P.Abstract:Internet Intelligence and Investigations (i3) are a fundamental investigative tool of the modern Law Enforcement Official (LEO) in an always-connected online era. Ensuring LEOs follow good procedure for such investigations is critical for both Law Enforcement and society, as it ensures consistency, rigor and transparency. Procedural issues lie with online evidential capture, however. For example, it is not feasible to directly apply digital evidence methodologies one would for ‘offline’ digital forensics; instead, one must apply best practices and a consistent approach. How those best practices and consistent approaches apply will typically fall to individual forces. One such tool in the arsenal of Law Enforcement is the ‘Open Source Internet Research Tool’ (OSIRT), a free all-in-one browser that assists Law Enforcement in conducting i3 in a standardized manner. This paper analyses and discusses the results of 32 questionnaire responses from serving LEOs in the UK and their use of OSIRT. Results showed that LEOs found OSIRT to be helpful to them and compared to their previous method of conducting online investigations, OSIRT offered an improved system to conduct online investigations in many instances

Submission of PM Fingerprint Records for Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) Searches and Antemortem Fingerprint Record Investigation
2014Co-Authors: Marzena MulawkaAbstract:Out of all scientific modalities used in forensic human identification, fingerprint identification is the most rapid and cost-effective means by which to identify unidentified human remains (UHR). However, there is a common misconception that if an individual was fingerprinted at some point in life, an antemortem fingerprint record resides in a national, comprehensive, and searchable database of all criminal and civil fingerprint records. Unfortunately, this is not the case—antemortem fingerprint records must be located within a complex network of searchable and non-searchable databases, or must be specially requested for specific reasons because the records reside in a private institution. When a forensic examiner or Law Enforcement Official is tasked with the forensic identification of unidentified postmortem fingerprint records, the complexity of antemortem fingerprint investigation, searching, and comparison must be understood. The examiner or investigator must gather certain information in order to know where to search for the possible antemortem fingerprint record. Measures must be taken to use all available resources, leverage all fingerprint databases, and increase federal submission capabilities in order to exhaust all avenues in the attempt to identify postmortem fingerprint records.
