Multimedia Evidence Redaction & FOIL Report Simulation

In this project, I developed a simulated digital evidence production workflow modeled after the responsibilities of a Digital Evidence Analyst supporting the Office of Special Investigation within the New York Attorney General’s Office.

The project was designed to replicate the review and disclosure process associated with Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) requests involving critical incidents such as officer-involved shootings. Using publicly available body-worn camera footage, I conducted a full evidence intake and preservation process including MD5 integrity verification, separation of original and working copies, and structured evidence tracking. I then performed statute-based video redactions and compiled documentation consistent with disclosure procedures under NY Public Officers Law §87(2), including a redaction log, metadata report, internal tracking sheet, and production memorandum.

The completed project demonstrates an end-to-end workflow for preparing sensitive digital media for legal review and public release while maintaining evidentiary integrity and clear documentation standards.
