Fayette County offers cyber crime course for officers

Fayette County’s Public Safety Training Center is offering a course in combating cyber crime to law enforcement and regulatory agency personnel.

The course will be led by Chief Information Officer Phil Frieder, a former cyber crime investigator who is also a certified cyber crime examiner. The course is the National White-Collar Crimes’ DF100 Basic Digital Forensic Analysis class, which teaches officers how to identify, collect and preserve digital evidence at crime scenes. Class dates, registration and curriculum are at www.Nw3c.com. Participants will receive eight hours of P.O.S.T. credit upon completion.

The county says it’s offering the course “to deliver relevant training necessary to combat the evolving high-tech crime threatening our communities.”
