Audio evidence is common in criminal investigations, and can come from numerous sources such as bodyworn cameras, CCTV, voicenotes, mobile phone videos, police interviews, or covert recording devices. This two hour online workshop will provide attendees with an introduction to the types of forensic audio examinations that can be conducted and how these can aid investigations.
The course will provide participants with:
- An overview of the range of forensic audio examinations, including enhancement, authenticity analysis, determining the time and date of a recording, sound source determination and location, speaker comparison, forensic transcription, and deepfake detection.
- An understanding of the questions that can be addressed through these analyses, the situations where the analyses are appropriate, and the types of results that might be produced.
- Guidance on the handling of audio evidence, and how incorrect handling can impact the results of forensic examinations.
