Richard and others,Dave is right on. A few years ago, my nephew wanted to go into forensics as well. He got into an OJT program through school, voluntering at first, then taking on a grant-funded part-time position that has helped him in college. As Dave says, they're swamped. I'd add that it's a great networking opportunity.
Good luck and let us know how thing go, if you choose that route. Kelley Security awareness and privacy training for today's organizations: http://www.inkworkswell.com phone: +1 (727) 942-9255 e-mail: mailto:kelley () inkworkswell com At 10:11 PM 3/8/2005, dave kleiman wrote:
Richard, One thing you can definitely do if your goal is Forensics. Find your Local Sheriff's / Police department that has Computer Crimes Unit and volunteer your free time. Trust me they can use the help, most of them have a work load that is beyond belief. Almost all PD and SO's have volunteer programs. It will give you the opportunity to see the skill sets you will need. You will of course be limited to what you are allowed to be involved in, but experience is experience, I volunteer 100-200 hours a year to my local Sheriff's and States Attorneys office and it is as much a benefit for me as it is for them. Regards,
