Real-World Cellular & Digital Evidence Training - Built for Your Casework

 Learn exactly what you need, one hour at a time. Build competence, grow confidence, and stay ahead of rapidly evolving cellular technology.

The Reality of Rapidly Evolving Cellular Evidence

Cellular and digital evidence changes faster than most teams can keep up. Carriers update network technology, device artifacts shift, and auto-generated software reports rarely tell the full story. Many investigators struggle not because they lack skill—but because the data evolves monthly while training rarely does. Hawks Consulting Academy solves this imbalance with focused, modular, investigator-led instruction designed for real cases, not theory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is Hawks Consulting Academy designed for?

Hawks Consulting Academy provides cellular investigation training for law enforcement, prosecutors, private investigators, and digital evidence analysts. Courses are practical, case-focused, and built to improve investigative accuracy, courtroom readiness, and cross-team understanding of cellular and digital data.

How are the courses structured?

Many trainings are delivered in focused 1-hour modules. Each module covers one skill or concept—CDRs, mapping, device data, or network fundamentals—so you can learn exactly what you need without unnecessary filler. This format makes complex cellular evidence easier to understand and apply immediately.

 Do I need access to any specific software to take the courses?

No. Most courses are software-agnostic and focus on understanding the underlying cellular data, not just reading a platform’s output. Software-specific modules, like CellHawk training, are available but optional.

How often is new training added?

New courses are released regularly as carriers update technology, new device artifacts emerge, and investigative practices evolve. The academy is designed to keep investigators and attorneys aligned with the rapidly changing digital evidence landscape.

Are the courses beginner friendly?

Yes. Whether you're new to CDRs or experienced in digital evidence, each course breaks complex topics into clear, digestible segments. Beginners can build a solid foundation while advanced users can target specific gaps.

What makes Hawks Consulting Academy different from other online training platforms?

Our courses are built by experienced investigators, not software companies or general e-learning providers. Training focuses on actual cellular data, real casework challenges, and the skills needed for strong reports and defensible testimony.
