DETECTIVEThe7April - June 2012Volume 1Issue No. 2Digital and Cyber Forensic Investigation: A Paradigm Shift for Police InvestigatorsBy: PCINSP FELIZARDO S EUBRA, JR,ATCCD, CIDGDigital Forensic Equipment Grant donated forRDFL Cebu.A good fingerprint at a crime scene isn't alwaysthe smoking gun for solving crimes. Thanks to moderntechnology, crime solving is going digital for the policeinvestigators! It's not only the e-projects being the focusof the PNP's Investigative Capability Program, but cyberand digital forensic as the new tool for effective crimesolution. The PNP's resident and certified cyber crimeinvestigators from the CIDG Anti-Transnational Crimeand Cyber Crime Division under the stewardship of itscyber buster, PSSUPT GILBERT A SOSA stressed thatwhile there will always be a role for traditionalinvestigative techniques, e-crime presents us a newform of business that will require a fundamentalparadigm shift in policing. This paradigm shift was infact the battle cry of the DIDM of shifting away from the“Traditional or Purely Testimony Based” to“Scientific Investigation.”PSSUPT SOSA said that forensic investigationinvolves four processes such as: identification,preservation, analysis and presentation of evidence. Hesaid that e-crime is variable in its manifestations, so it isdifficult to discuss in terms of aggregate incidence andimpact. It involves complex investigation and needscyber and digital expertise. Slowly, we could be at parwith our international counterparts in terms ofinvestigating cyber crimes, he said. The CIDG's DigitalForensic Laboratories and the strategic establishmentof our Regional Digital Forensic Laboratories will helpaddress the needs of our PNP operating units in regionallevel in-terms of cyber crime investigation and digitalevidence examination and analysis. The RDFL has thecapability to response and provide immediate technicalsupport to any PNP operating units with regardspreservation and collection of electronic and digitalevidence in support to any cases investigated in regionallevel. For the period January to June 2012 alone, 209cases were investigated and 1,263 were examined usingBlessing and Inauguration of Regional DigitalForensic Laboratory, PRO 7, Cebu Citythe DFL. Various training and seminar awareness were alsoconducted by the ATCCD as part of its cyber awarenessdrive and training initiative to enhance the skills andknowledge of the investigators. PSSUPT SOSA expressedthat with the renewed commitment and dedication, theATCCD will continue in its role not only as one of the CIDGoperating unit but also as the PNP's “cutting edge” againstcyber crimes.
