Course Overview:

velop practical techniques for analysing communications data to address investigative and evidential questions. Through worked examples and exercises, delegates explore device usage and geolocation, call patterns, attribution and potential colocation, recognising what the findings can and cannot establish.

Key Topics:

  • Event-based analysis and geolocation: assessing cell usage against relevant locations, dates & times.

  • Potential colocation and non-colocation: comparing records and understanding similarities / differences can establish.

  • Disputed attribution: examining usage patterns, including overnight cell usage and comparison with accepted devices.

  • Call pattern analysis: exploring contact relationships, frequency, timing and changes in activity.

  • IMEI and MSISDN relationships: identifying associations between devices and telephone numbers.

  • Interpretation and reporting: distinguishing observations from opinion, considering alternative explanations and communicating limitations.

Pre-Requisites:

Open to all levels of experience for Analysts, Digital Investigators, and RF Technicians working with UK communications data. A working understanding of UK call data records and cellular network principles is required. Completion of TSG’s Communications Data Interpretation course (TR-003), or equivalent knowledge and experience, is recommended.
