Analytical Services
ROCIC analysts help investigators and prosecutors make sense of complex investigative information by transforming large amounts of data into clear, actionable analytical products.
Analytical services can help identify relationships, patterns, timelines, trends, and other connections that may not be readily apparent during an investigation. These products provide investigators with additional insight and help organize information for investigative and prosecutorial use.
Specialized Equipment
ROCIC provides member agencies access to specialized investigative equipment that may not otherwise be readily available to them.
The equipment loan program supports a variety of investigative and surveillance needs and allows agencies to use specialized technology without the expense of purchasing equipment for limited or occasional use.
By providing these resources to member agencies, ROCIC helps investigators gather information, document evidence, conduct operations, and support criminal investigations.
Training
ROCIC provides law enforcement training on timely and relevant topics designed to strengthen investigative skills, professional development, and operational effectiveness.
Training opportunities are offered throughout ROCIC’s 14-state service region, at ROCIC headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee, and through select online programs.
Courses and conferences provide law enforcement professionals opportunities to expand their knowledge, develop specialized skills, and learn about emerging crime trends, investigative techniques, technology, and officer safety practices.
Digital Forensics
ROCIC Digital Forensics assists member agencies with the identification, preservation, examination, and analysis of digital evidence.
Digital forensic analysts work with computers, mobile devices, digital storage media, and other electronic evidence to help investigators locate and recover information that may be relevant to criminal investigations.
Services may include the recovery and analysis of files and other digital data, examination of electronic devices and storage media, and assistance with interpreting digital evidence for investigative and prosecutorial purposes.
Audio/Video Forensics

Forensic services can help improve the clarity and usability of recordings, reduce or isolate background noise, enhance video footage, clarify important visual or audio details, and assist investigators in identifying information relevant to a case.
These services help agencies make more effective use of audio and video evidence during investigations and court proceedings.
Publications
ROCIC develops and distributes criminal intelligence publications and informational resources to help keep member agencies informed about criminal activity, investigative issues, and emerging trends.
