Help/Info Requested

« on: July 28, 2008, 02:09:51 PM »

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.

Hi and welcome to ethicalhacker.net

You might consider studying for the Certified Computer Examiner (CCE) qualification. Details are on their website:

http://www.certified-computer-examiner.com/

There are distance learning courses available, I'm currently studying the course from Key Computer Services.

If you have expereince, you can take some of there classes and get pretty ramped up.

Are you looking for a degree or certifications? If you already have a degree (regardless of what it is in, I would go the cert route first. then top it off in acedemia. Just my two cents.

You may also want to consider the EnCE, this is the Encase Certified Examiner.
Encase is an excellent tool and used my many organisations for forensics.

I studied for this certification myself, but not do the exam but just for knowledge purposes. Forensics is something you really have to do regularly to keep up to date with the processes I find. So easy to get slow at examinations of digital evidence.

Good luck and keep us informed.

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!
