Case Study: Village of Tinley Park finds more mobile evidence with Magnet Forensics AXIOM

How Magnet AXIOM Helps Find More Evidence from Multiple Sources

The Village of Tinley Park Police Department's Digital Forensics lab faced significant challenges in its homicide and Internet-related crime investigations. With smartphones being the main source of evidence in 75% of cases, examiners struggled to retrieve data from off-brand mobile devices and unsupported apps. To overcome this, they turned to Magnet Forensics for a solution using its AXIOM product.

Magnet Forensics implemented Magnet AXIOM, which provides the ability to bypass passwords on thousands of Android devices and recover data from unsupported apps with its Dynamic App Finder. This allowed investigators to easily combine computer, cloud, and mobile evidence into a single case. As a result, examiners can now find more crucial evidence to establish activities, timelines, and intent, with one investigator calling it their most user-friendly and essential go-to tool for every investigation.
