law enforcement investigations

Few suspects today commit a crime without leaving a data trail. However, criminals are also becoming smarter at hiding their tracks.

NCI forensics experts can retrieve digital evidence from cell phones and computers quickly and safely, saving you valuable time and money in your investigation. We:

• Recover deleted files
• Trace a criminal’s technology steps – what was copied, searched
• Produce full investigation reports
• Provide Expert Witness Testimony

NCI has assisted both Criminal Investigation Branches (CIB) and Major Crime Branches (MCB) of law enforcement agencies, preserving and retrieving sensitive digital evidence that may have value in a criminal investigation. With our priority service, you can have a preliminary report in just 24 hours.  A standard investigation with a full report is completed, on average, within 2 weeks.

Our clients call on us for fast and reliable forensic investigation to recover data from:

Cell phones and PDAs

More and more data is being stored on these devices making them an extremely valuable place to find evidence. Contact lists, pictures, video, SMS chats, email, web browsing and call history can all be retrieved. The challenge is to stay up-to-date with new phone models.
At NCI, our experts are certified in Advanced Cell Phone Forensics. We can process your digital evidence regardless of the device model or service provider.

Laptops, desktops and servers

Encryption, Steganography (the science of hiding information by embedding messages within other, seemingly harmless messages), and wireless storage are just a few of the methods being used today by criminals to hide their tracks.
NCI can, in most cases, recover data that has been stored in an encrypted form, or has been hidden. We perform advanced file, data, and password recovery. Our experts are trained in Steganographic analysis.

Digital video

Digital video is similar to other data files.

Forensic software tools allow us to trace a criminal’s steps. Whether it be KP, embezzlement, homicide, or extortion, the evidence is there. Our trained experts know how to extract information the criminals want to hide. We can determine when something was copied and to what media. We can crack passwords, recreate web pages and search deleted internet history. The NCI Team’s integrity and experience are called upon to carry out investigations as well as to provide Expert Witness Testimony.
