Forensic examiner coaches law enforcement agents, supports CFCE training by providing volunteer coaching
SOUTHFIELD, Mich., May 9 /PRNewswire/ -- The Center for Computer
Forensics (CCF) announced today that it will be lending Ed Moore, one of
its examiners, as a volunteer coach for trainees working to become
Certified Forensics Computer Examiners (CFCE). Moore, a forensic examiner
that has been with the CCF for 3 years, will lend his 8 years of forensics
expertise as a guide for law enforcement officers and civilian examiners in
training after the International Association of Computer Investigative
Specialists (IACIS) requested his services.
Moore will act as a staff trainer for a handful of students during the
IACIS's two-week training program. On a strictly volunteer basis, Moore
wished to give his time to help a cause he believes is crucial for the
industry.
"There are only around six hundred fifty active CFCEs globally,"
commented Moore. "The number of CFCEs is small compared to the number of
actual examiners in the field. Those of us with working knowledge of this
field of forensics need to put more weight on how we can positively affect
and train new examiners in this increasingly important field."
In addition to Moore's lab coaching role during the two-week course,
the computer forensics expert will act as a personal coach for one or more
participants in the CFCE course over the ten-month certification-training
period. Moore will train at least one law enforcement examiner through the
entire certification process, which includes six in-depth phases and
culminates in a vigorous written examination.
For the last ten years, the Center for Computer Forensics has played a
major role in the computer forensics field. The organization is dedicated
to the advancement of computer forensics and was more than happy to lend
Moore to the IACIS.
"We're funding Moore's time with the IACIS because we think the work
he's doing is important and irreplaceable," remarked Patrick Ahern, CCF
President.
