⚡ 2-Minute Tip #2: Cell Site Data Disappears Fast

Location data from cell providers is often only retained for 7 to 90 days.

Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile each have their own policies. Without preservation:

• Call detail records (CDRs) with location info can be gone within 2 weeks.

• Historical tower data might not be available at all unless requested early.

📌 Practical Action: Use a standardized preservation letter template. Send it immediately upon case assignment—even before formal discovery begins. Include account info, phone number, and relevant dates/times.

NEW!
Our next Tip will talk about on scene video surveillance and its importance of securing it quickly. See more at the Digital Evidence Toolbox.

Leverage our Digital Evidence capabilities and call us at IRIS LLC to help preserve digital evidence that could prevent wrongful conviction.

Digital Evidence Shouldn’t Be a Blind Spot for Public Defenders

At Iris, we’ve seen how a weak defense to digital forensics can lead to wrongful convictions. But if digital evidence can be used to accuse and convict—it can also be used to prove innocence.

That’s why we co-founded the Digital Innocence Initiative.

We support public defenders and post-conviction teams nationwide with the tools, training, and expert insight needed to create a more fair and equitable criminal justice system.

We’re here to bring clarity to complexity—and help protect the innocent.

⚡ 2-Minute Tip #1: Triage First, Not Last

Digital evidence is time sensitive. Treat it like physical evidence left in the rain.

Begin every case with a digital evidence triage. Ask:

• What digital sources exist?

• Who controls them?

• How long will they last?

📌 Practical Action: As soon as possible send out preliminary preservation letters to cell providers, cloud platforms, and known video sources. You may only have days to secure data that can make or break your case.

⚡ 2-Minute Tip #10: Build a Repeatable Triage System

Success with digital evidence comes from process—not luck.

Use the DECAM Method every time:

🔍 A – Assess: devices, accounts, apps, cloud platforms.

📋 B – Baseline

Document device details, app usage, usernames, PINs, recovery info, phone numbers.

📦 C – Collect

Coordinate preservation, image devices properly, and collect data with forensic support.

📌 Practical Action:

• Save and reuse a checklist across your team.

• Train investigators and paralegals to follow the DECAM method.

• Schedule regular reviews of preservation practices to stay ahead of common failures.
