Case Study: Richland Police achieves more proactive ICAC investigations with Magnet Forensics AXIOM

Richland Police accelerates ICAC investigations with Magnet Forensics after finding mobile evidence in 75% of cases

The Richland Police, a law enforcement agency, faced challenges in proactively investigating internet crimes against children (ICAC) due to encrypted mobile devices and the difficulty of parsing data from numerous mobile apps. To address this, they turned to Magnet Forensics and its AXIOM platform to improve their ability to combine evidence from computers, cloud sources, and mobile devices into a single case.

By implementing Magnet Forensics' AXIOM, examiners could ingest mobile images and use focused searches and filters to pinpoint specific items in large datasets. This allowed them to identify user accounts, correlate them to suspects, and proactively search for additional victims. The solution had a measurable impact, with smartphones being the primary source of evidence on 75% of their cases. Magnet Forensics provided a user-friendly tool that helped drive investigations forward.
