Introduction

The world we live in is filled with advancements in technology that has changed the way we live, communicate, and work. Technological progress has brought numerous benefits, and one of them is in the field of investigation. The contribution of technology in the investigation process has revolutionized the way evidence is collected, analyzed, and presented in court.

The integration of technology in the investigation process has streamlined the process, making it more efficient and accurate. The traditional methods of gathering evidence, such as paper-based records, eyewitness accounts, and physical evidence, have been replaced with advanced technological tools that can quickly analyze data, provide real-time updates, and generate precise reports.

One of the most significant contributions of technology in the investigation process is the use of digital forensics. Digital forensics is the application of scientific techniques and tools to collect, analyze, and preserve electronic data. The digital world is rapidly expanding, and the use of technology in crime has become increasingly prevalent. Digital forensics allows investigators to recover data from digital devices, such as computers, smartphones, and tablets, which can be used as evidence in a court of law. It is a crucial tool in the investigation of cybercrimes, fraud, and other criminal activities that involve the use of technology.
