We are actively seeking ideas to help us identify technology needs and requirements as part of the National Institute of Justice's Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation process. The process takes this input from law enforcement and corrections practitioners and uses it to make recommendations on prioritizing NIJ's investments across technology portfolios.

What Is Field Search?

Field Search is a suite of software products developed by the National Law Enforcement and Corrections Technology Center (NLECTC). Field Search was designed specifically for use in the field by non-technical criminal justice personnel to allow them to quickly and efficiently search a target computer and create a detailed report of findings. Field Search for Windows® (FS-Win) runs live in a native Windows environment. Similarly, Field Search for Macintosh (FS-Mac) runs live in the native Mac OS X® environment. This approach provides a fast, powerful, yet easy method of examining and monitoring computer use. In essence, Field Search blends preview functions with evidence gathering and reporting functions.

Originally designed to assist probation and parole officers in sex offender management, the Field Search suite is equally effective in first responder situations or in examining computers for evidence of other crimes.

Features

Field Search quickly finds evidence such as Internet histories, images, multimedia files and results from text searches and easily populates a report of the findings. Click here to learn more about Field Search’s features and to view sample screenshots:
