NLECTC Northeast - Practitioners Speak

NLECTC-Northeast

"Assistance provided to me by NLECTC and all the sub-categories, cyber science lab, the LEAF, etc. makes my job and makes me look tremendous in front of the administrators of the college and also my peers within law enforcement. I would never, ever think of diving into a cyber crime case without making a call to the cyber science lab and NLECTC first."
Enrico D'Alessandro, New York State University Police Chief, Morrisville, New York

Video Analysis, LEAF

"The LEAF provided exceptional service to a difficult and time-sensitive video project which involved subtitling and video-to-audio synchronization. LEAF staff member's professionalism, technical knowledge and dedication to the mission proved to be invaluable."
Salvador Valdez, Supervisory Special Agent, U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation

Audio Analysis, LEAF

"I recently called the LEAF for some voice analysis. As a result of the assistance from the LEAF, the dishonest corrections officer was terminated from her employment. Sixteen months later, this released employee participated in a murder."
David Christ, Warden, Minnesota Department of Corrections, St. Paul, Minnesota

Computer Forensics, LEAF

"I have been involved with the Law Enforcement Analysis Facility (LEAF) since 1999. They have been involved with our test validation of forensic tools, implementing our proficiency test program and competency tests for our field forensic examiners. It has been very successful, and I thank them for their efforts and the work they have done our behalf."
Dale Linden, FBI Unit Chief, Quantico, Virginia, Digital Evidence Forensic Laboratory

Equipment Acquisition, 1033 Program

"...I look at the NLECTC as the 'light at the end of the tunnel' for the law enforcement community."
Merino J. Ciccone, Chief of Police, Rome Police Department

Time Line Analysis, LEAF

"...The photograph enhancement, audio tape enhancement and time line analysis completed by LEAF were invaluable to the prosecution of this case. We are very fortunate to be able to access the expertise and the technology this unit possesses."
Bernadette T. Romano, First Assistant District Attorney, Oneida County District Attorney's Office

Training Support, CyberScience Laboratory

The CSL was acknowledged by the Miami-Dade Police Department, Specialized Training Unit who is responsible for hosting educational programs for national and international law enforcement personnel who stated: "Many of these programs would not be possible without the ongoing support of agencies such as the CyberScience Laboratory."
Miami-Dade Police Department, Training Bureau

Cyberthreat Resource Kit, CyberScience Laboratory

"I believe that this [CSL Cyberthreat Resource Kit (C-Kit)] would be of tremendous help to the local police departments, not only in our area but all over the country. This disk takes a lot of the guess work out of what computer crimes are and helps to build an understanding of what it takes to investigate these cases."
Cyber Unit-Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department

CyberScience Laboratory

"I think the CyberScience Laboratory is a classic example of what can be done, sharing information, reaching out to others, making sure that we understand what technical fix can prevent [electronic crime] in the first place."
Former U.S. Attorney General

CyberScience Laboratory

"The CyberScience Laboratory is a prime example of the appropriate role that the federal government can play in assisting state and local law enforcement and what is most unique about the CSL is that it harnesses the extraordinary talent, expertise, and technology developed by the DoD and transitions it to the realistic needs of law enforcement."
Former Superintendent of the New York State Police (NYSP) and former Administrator of the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

Workshops, CyberScience Laboratory

"The CSL staff provided an extremely informative workshop which was well received by all of the attendees. The CSL staff took technical Cybercrime topics and made them easy to understand and follow by all of the attendees. As you are aware, Cybercrime investigations require investigators to be knowledgeable of the latest trends in Cybercrime. Training is an essential tool for the successful completion of these investigations. CSL offers a valuable service to our law enforcement partners because most law enforcement agencies do not have the resources to send their investigators to Cybercrime Training."
Assistant Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation-Cyber Division
