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.

evidence, an experienced, competent examiner from the Center for Computer

Forensics is necessary to lead the search and retrieval of the missing
