Hunter’s specialized training enables him to detect cellphones, memory cards, and other digital devices crucial in cases involving child exploitation, marking a significant step forward in law enforcement’s efforts to tackle such offenses.
Hunter’s presence within IMPD serves as a vital asset in investigations related to child exploitation, aiding in the discovery of digital evidence that could otherwise go unnoticed.
