Needle in a Digital Haystack: Leveraging CASTviz for Enhanced Tower Dump and Area Search Analysis

Please join us for our next webinar: Needle in a Digital Haystack: Leveraging CASTviz for Enhanced Tower Dump and Area Search Analysis

Presenter: Michael F (Public Safety Analyst II, Jacksonville Sheriffs Office , FL)

Extracting actionable intelligence from tower dump and area search warrant returns can feel like finding a needle in a haystack. As the volume and complexity of cellular data continue to grow, critical information can be overlooked without the application of proper analytical techniques and tools. This presentation introduces CASTViz, a free-to-law-enforcement software developed by the FBI’s Cellular Analysis Survey Team (CAST), and demonstrates how it can be used to efficiently process, visualize, and analyze large-scale cellular datasets from tower dump and area search warrant returns.

This event is free for VCAN members and $10 for non-members. This presentation is restricted to law enforcement personnel only; you must register with an official government email address. This presentation will NOT be recorded.

Event is on Friday, January 22, 2027, from 1pm – 3pm Eastern Time. Registration closes at COB on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Login details will be sent by COB on Wednesday November 11, 2026.
