I was a police officer for 12 years before having to leave the profession due to injury.  I am interested in staying somewhat in the law enforcement field by getting certified in computer forensics.  My question is where is the best place to get training?  I have found what looks to be a good program at UC Berkley, however I live in Tennessee and prefer to not have to move.  Any suggestions on where I could get the training and certification closer to Tennessee or via online courses?  Any suggestions and information is greatly appreciated.

An additional resource that you may find helpful is the High Technology Crime Investigation Association...

Thanks very much for the information, I really appreciate it.

Artful Dodger, I am in Nashville.  How about you?

Thank you again everyone, I will look into all the suggestions and let you know how it goes.

I am also in Nashville.  Forensics here is a small world...just like everything else in Nashville...you know how the good ole boy network is.  Being a former cop I cant imagine that it would be hard to get good consulting work with Metro, TBI or the state.  From what I understand their forensic program is really under staffed. 

Cheers!
