Eric,
Marion County has operated a very successful Computer Forensics lab for
a few years now. The function of this lab is to take confiscated
computer equipment, cell phones, etc that are suspected to be used for
criminal purposes and secure evidence on those devices and write reports
for the courts. The lab is in a separte and secure area in one of the
Sheriff's facilities. The lab is segregated on it's own network for
criminal investigation work but our Forensic Specialist (who is actually
an IT employee but is also a Sheriff's Special Deputy) can also connect
to the County network for County-related business. As far as equipment
I would have to get that information from our Forensic Specialist. The
cost for training and continual recertification in the past has been
shared by IT and the Sheriff's Office but more recently is covered
mostly by the Sheriff's Office.
We also have an IT employee who works half time as a Crime Analyst for
the Sheriff. This however has more to do with extracting crime data,
mapping it, analyzing, etc.
If you need more detailed information or would like to visit us, please
let us know.

Our sheriff's dept here in Umatilla County is looking to put together a
computer crime lab. We were wondering if other counties have a
computer
crime lab set up, and if so, how is it set up?
1) Is the lab in a separate, private area and does it have a separate,
or segregated Internet connection, so that it's not accessible to
everyone?
2) What kind of equipment do you have (hardware, software, etc)?
3) Is the crime analyst a sheriff-trained employee or is it a member
of
your computer department trained in computer forensics?
Any other info would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
