GF Wiretap Player dialog box

This topic provides an overview of the GF Wiretap Player dialog box and all the settings and buttons on it. However if you require step-by-step procedures on using live monitoring refer to Using Live monitoring for wiretaps.

This feature requires option E19 Sentinel content log. If you do not have this option this feature is not available.

The GF Wiretap Player dialog box:

  • opens automatically when a call occurs from one of the subject's you are monitoring. During the call the dialog box allows you to enter a brief summary of the pertinent facts that are being discussed. If the discussion is not relevant then you can also minimize the call for a short period of time defined by your supervisor.

  • can be reopened once the call is complete, allowing you to add the transcript, and define the call category such as whether or not it contained pertinent case information.

    The dialog box displays the numbers involved in the call, along with the names if known, an arrow representing who originated the call, the Case ID (LIID), the communication identifier, the latitude and longitude of the call's tower if available, the type of call, the codec used by the operator to send the call if available, and if the call has been redirected it displays the final number it was redirected to. The redirect number is prefixed with , or if it is a voice-mail number then .

    The data you enter is saved automatically every few seconds so there is no requirement for you to save.

This is only displayed at the top of the dialog box during a live call when there are multiple calls with the target. Multiple calls can happen in these situations:

  • when the operator is supplying two legs for the same call. It may be the case that one leg is better quality than the other so you can switch between them to listen to the one with better quality.

  • when another associate calls the target and the target attempts to do a 3-way call.

  • when there is a call on hold while the target speaks to another associate.

Click to open the Call control state panel that allows you to click to switch to another call. Currently the Call control state panel does not distinguish what each of the calls are. Note, the Call id column is currently for Gladiator Forensics internal use only.

If you set a communication to either Privileged or Blocked only a user with monitoring permissions of Administrator can then access the communication and change the communication's category.

  • Pertinent: use to mark the communication as containing relevant information to your case. Communications categorized as this can also be accessed by users with no monitor permissions but who do have permission to the case.
  • Non Pertinent: use to mark the communication as not containing relevant information to your case. Communications categorized as this can also be accessed by users with no monitor permissions but who do have permission to the case.
  • Privileged: use to mark the communication as being a privileged call that should not be listened to, for example a call between a target and their lawyer. Communications categorized as this can only be accessed by a user with monitor permissions of Administrator. If the associate number has a privileged exception restriction applied then it is automatically characterized as this.
  • Blocked: use to mark a communication which needs to be completely blocked from a monitor accessing. You may be advised to do this for example by a district attorney. Communications categorized as this can only be accessed by a user with monitor permissions of Administrator. If the associate number has a blocked exception restriction applied then it is automatically characterized as this.
  • No conversation: use to mark if there is no voice on the call. Communications categorized as this can also be accessed by users with no monitor permissions but who do have permission to the case.

All non-voice communications are categorized as this when first opened by a monitor and remain at this until the monitor selects the appropriate category. Communications categorized as this can only be accessed by users with monitor permissions.
  • Not Monitored: all non-voice communications, with no exception restrictions, are categorized as this by default.
