First Responders, Second Edition (<a href="https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/219941.pdf">https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/219941.pdf</a>), published in April 2008. NIJ developed and published the
Electronic Crime Scene Investigation: A Guide for First Responders,
Second Edition to assist State and local law enforcement and other
first responders who may be responsible for preserving an electronic
crime scene and for recognizing, collecting, and safeguarding digital
evidence. The STC may also inform the development of other relevant
guides and standards related to digital multimedia evidence practices
for criminal justice purposes. NIJ guides and standards are consensus-
based and designed to articulate the criminal justice end user
community's operational requirements and best practices.
NIJ anticipates that the STC for Criminal Justice Practice for
Digital Multimedia Evidence will be comprised of approximately 25
individuals who are crime scene investigators, digital forensic
experts, computer forensic examiners, crime laboratory personnel, first
responders, prosecutors, and other subject matter experts from federal,
state, and local criminal justice agencies or other relevant technical
or governmental organizations. Individuals will be selected to achieve
the best possible balance of knowledge and expertise.
Submitted materials must clearly demonstrate the applicant's
qualifications to serve on the STC. Law enforcement practitioners must
be active sworn personnel or civilian employees of a law enforcement
agency or crime laboratory. Candidates should have experience with the
identification, collection, and preservation of digital multimedia
evidence at crime scenes or through conducting search warrants;
analysis of digital multimedia evidence for investigative purpose or
for criminal proceedings; presentation of digital multimedia evidence
in court; or some combination of the above. Individuals operating at
all levels of a law enforcement agency are encouraged to apply, however
sworn officers at the level of lieutenant and above are preferred.
Nonsworn personnel should have at least ten years of experience of job
duties relevant to the purpose of the STC.
NIJ anticipates that the STC will meet virtually several times over
the course of approximately 18 to 24 months starting sometime in late
2022 or early 2023, with each meeting lasting one to two days. If
conditions permit, the STC may meet at least once in person in the
Washington, DC The majority of the work will be conducted by web
conference, telephone, and email. Participation time will not be
reimbursed; however, should travel be permitted, it is expected that
travel and per diem expenses for travel originating outside the local
Washington, DC area will be reimbursed. Any potential reimbursements
are subject to, inter alia, the availability of appropriated funds, and
to any modifications or additional requirements that may be imposed by
law.
