Most specifically we are looking for training that will allow us to more effectively examine cell phones for data related to crimes against children. Technology changes are so rapid and by offering training we are able to stay with the perpetrators in their use of mobile devices to exploit children. Daren recently returned from a class and with the training received proceed to examine and obtain data that we had previously not been able to obtain. Training: There is no future cost impact for the training and there is no supplanting of funds with this request. The significance of the training will be in providing a skill set to meet a need within the lab. The lab recent has had several submissions in which we were not able to pull the data from the device because it was damaged. Had we had the tool and training we may have assisted the investigator in obtaining the needed data to help their case investigation. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) Authorize the Weld County Sheriffs Office to submit the grant to Colorado Springs Police Department as the grant manager for ICAC. This request will add no additional cost to the lab, but does offer training to expand our capacity to serve. Not approve the request. This will affect our ability to provide data from phones used in internet crimes against children. Recommendation: Recommend authorization to submit the grant with my apology for the lateness of the request. The submission of the request to Colorado Springs is due June 9th. I will be out the week of the 24th; however Daren Ford will be available to answer questions if needed that week. Approved for Submission by Sheriff Reams: 2016-1822 Mike Freeman, Chair Sean P.

Regards, 1cudk(7/1 /1'../77/4a-eit Janet Van Kampen CSPD ICAC Coordinator CSPD 2016 Affiliate Grant Application 2 PROJECT ABSTRACT Daren Ford with the Weld County Sheriff's Office has been providing ICAC related services to the Northern Colorado Region. He serves as the Technical Lead for the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Lab, and in that capacity provides service, not only to the Weld County Sheriff's Office but also to the other agencies in Northern Colorado. While providing service in support of ICAC requests to follow up on leads/hits to IP addresses in the region we also have addressed the growth of cell phones usage in the realm of internet crimes against children. The lab has observed many instances in which a mobile device has been used to image data, as well as store and shares those images. The data stored can be difficult to retrieve from these devices and as a result tools and subsequent training is needed to provide the necessary service. The request is to provide the necessary training to allow for the lab to offer best practices in the data extraction of mobile electronic devices. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM The Weld County Sheriff's Office through staffing the Northern Colorado Regional Forensic Laboratory has, from inception, provided service in the forensic examination of computers, cell phones and other electronic devices. The lab currently has 3 International Association of Computer Investigator specialist (IACIS) certified examiners. Daren Ford is one of those three individuals and he also serves as the Technical Lead in the lab. There is a fourth member of the lab, and all four individuals assigned to the lab are actively involved in working ICAC cases for their agencies and others within the laboratory. The Weld County Sheriffs Office proactively searches for ICAC related cases on the internet. This is done via the undercover internet connection provided at the NCRFL facility. Several cases have been worked and individuals have been investigated for various sexual exploitative offenses. As part of the regional crime lab the Sheriffs Office provides forensic support for cases related to ICAC as well as scene triage for agencies requesting our services. The Sheriffs Office also provides training to our own deputies and individuals attending the Aims Police Officers Academy. The lab's DME analysts have also been trained to do more exhaustive procedures to help extract data from phones: JTAG and chip -off. These technological advances require more extensive training and tools to achieve the desired results and each year there seems to be one more tool that further enhances the capacity of the lab to extract data. The lab has found that these tools, not in use several years ago, have been critical in extracting the necessary data for agencies looking to further their investigation or curtail following an unnecessary lead. The Digital Multimedia Evidence (DME) section has also found that there are tools and training still missing that would further enhance the capacity of the lab to meet a need within the agencies. Current Page 2 of 5 Capacity Enhancement — LIMS and Software Upgrades approaches have been limited because the tools are not in the lab to extract data from damaged electronic devices. Whether intentional or not the lab has found that it is often this data that is crucial to the investigation. Recently the technical leader of the DME section in the lab was made aware of a tool and technique that could be applied to help in the extraction of data on certain types of phones as well as other data storage devices. We are not seeking equipment or supplies through this grant to augment the training we are requesting. However we are seeking the training to allow Daren to be effective in the extraction of ICAC related data stored on the devices which we have found cannot be extracted with current technologies at our disposal. PROGRAM DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION We continue to improve our effectiveness in investigating cases involving ICAC content. This is done through training which has allowed for processing of items which may not have been processed without the training provided by ICAC. A large percentage of the ICAC cases submitted to the Lab for processing involve cell phones. Keeping up with the rapid change in technology has been difficult. We have identified two courses which will expand our current capabilities in processing data from cell phone. We primarily use one tool for cell phone processing and this course will add more efficient and effective ways to connect to the devices. The Advanced Flasher Box course allows for additional ways to connect to a phone to potentially extract the data. Page 3 of 5 Capacity Enhancement — LIMS and Software Upgrades The second course identified is SQLite Forensics. This course allows for data interpretation of SQLite databases which are commonly found in iOS devices. Cellebrite only provides only a limited amount of iOS apps support. This course provides training on parsing of the unsupported SQLite databases used by various apps in order to more effectively process iPhone and obtain data previously missed. CAPABILITIES/COMPETENCIES This funding is part of an overall process to expand and enhance the ICA related services through this forensic laboratory. The Digital Multimedia Evidence section of the regional lab is now IEC: ISO 17025 accredited and the lab will continue to maintain this high level of quality work. This training will not only assist in providing best practices for the ICAC cases submitted but will also serve to maintain the quality of excellence we seek for Daren and other in the lab. In addition, the Weld County's accounting department has been actively involved in the process of implementing, processing and paying out grants as well as tracking the funds. The department has set up a system of account coding that will assure that the funds used in the grant are tracked. IMPACT/OUTCOMES Increase the technical assistance provided by the Colorado ICAC task force As noted above the technologies related to the use of electronic media continues to expand as we seek to adapt with an ever expanding growth of and changes by those using electronic devices. These two classes are part of our efforts to provide the necessary tools and skill sets so that we can provide the needed technical support. When requested by an agency to assist in the extraction of data/images the lab desires to be able to provide the tools and knowledge to complete those requests. We believe these two classes with expand our capacity to serve. Page 4 of 5 Capacity Enhancement — LIMS and Software Upgrades Increase the ability of conduct proactive investigations In an ancillary fashion the lab will be able to use the knowledge gained to conduct proactive searches. The sooner we provide information back to our investigators carrying out an investigation the more effective they are in working through leads. By helping them focus the attention of their investigations, they can more quickly indentify the perpetrators of a crime and remove them from doing further injury and abuse to children. Again we believe this training will allow us to be more effective in our data extraction, providing the necessary information to those carrying out an investigating. GOALS, OBJECTIVES, AND PERFORMANCE MEASURES — The goal of this project is to improve the effectiveness of our service to its clients. We believe, by offering statement of the art technologies, we can be more effective, thereby pinpoint individuals and correctly indentifying perpetrators of those seeking to add additional children to the list of those involved in the exploitation of children, The objectives to meet this goal will be to obtain the necessary training for Daren Ford to make him more effective in his service to Weld County. Objective One: Register Daren Ford for the classes, send him to the classes, have him complete the training and then apply knowledge gained in processing evidence.
