All Reboot courses are taught by trainers who are or have been investigators and practitioners who have worked on actual digital forensic investigations. No academics who have read about the subject, no vendor reps who are trying to sell a product, no managers who have overseen others do the work — just experienced forensic professionals who have been there, done it and understand the pressures you face in this fast changing world.
Chris was a police officer for 30 years and has been involved in digital forensics, within both the public and private sectors, for the last 20. He first became involved in this specialised field while working as a Detective on a serious fraud department and continued to develop his skills within a counter-terrorism unit.
He has undertaken acquisitions, examinations, analysis and investigations of digital devices across multiple digital platforms and crime types, with considerable experience of teaching the subject at many levels and to many differing audiences. Throughout his career, he has been involved in numerous complex, high-profile criminal investigations of the most serious type, including counter-terrorism and homicide. He has received commendations for gathering and presenting evidence in successful criminal prosecutions at the very highest level.
For the last 10 years, Chris has been researching, writing and presenting digital forensic training material both within the UK and internationally. He has provided evidence to the courts as an expert witness and has contributed to training design, development and delivery for a range of law enforcement organisations, regulatory bodies as well as commercial training providers.
Mark is a former law enforcement digital forensics practitioner and manager with 30+ years of experience in the field. A police officer for over 30 years, he found his niche in forensic computing in its infancy within policing and has been working in that field ever since.
He has undertaken acquisitions, examinations, repairs and investigations of digital devices across multiple crime types, with considerable experience of teaching the subject at many levels and to many differing audiences. Whilst serving, he was seconded to the National Police Improvement Agency and the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre in the UK. Since retiring, he has continued researching and writing training courses on investigating digital evidence delivered to audiences both in the UK and worldwide.
Mark has provided evidence to the UK courts as an expert witness and has contributed to training design, development and delivery for organisations such as the College of Policing, the Council of Europe and Interpol, as well as many commercial training providers. His experience has seen him provide training, mentoring and advice on digital forensic capabilities to students in more than 40 countries worldwide.
Phil is a former law enforcement digital forensics practitioner and manager with over 30 years of experience, dating back to the infancy of computer forensics. He has served with a UK police force and later held a director-level position with a large UK outsourcing company, alongside undertaking work overseas for a number of different agencies.
His principal expertise lies in hardware-based acquisition techniques — chip-off, ISP (In-System Programming), electronic repair and hardware reverse engineering. He has applied those skills to recover data from an exceptionally broad range of devices, including computers, mobile phones, routers, drones, vehicle infotainment systems, marine GPS units and aircraft systems.
Phil has been actively involved in a number of international working groups, including Interpol, collaborating with like-minded practitioners from around the world to solve the more complex problems facing law enforcement. He has also provided evidence to the UK courts as an expert witness.
He continues to deliver training and to research unique and emerging technologies that help law enforcement worldwide access new and important data types in support of their investigations.
Kris is a digital forensic investigator and technical specialist in a UK police force, with a passion for problem-solving and uncovering the evidence others can’t.
With six years of experience working in policing within digital forensics, Kris specialises in the examination and recovery of digital evidence from a wide range of devices — including mobile phones, computers, drones, vehicle systems, and other devices capable of storing digital data.
Prior to his career in digital forensics, Kris built over 20 years of experience in automotive engineering and information technology, developing specialist expertise across complex electronic systems, digital technologies, and modern connected devices.
He has extensive practical knowledge of advanced forensic acquisition methods, including ISP (In-System Programming) and chip-off techniques, supporting the recovery of data from damaged, locked, or otherwise inaccessible devices. His combined engineering and digital forensic background gives him a uniquely broad technical perspective — precise, practical, and built for solving difficult problems.
