The DCJ computer forensics laboratory is a critical service unique within community justice agencies nationwide. Its purpose is to provide officers with essential information needed to support best practices supervision plans for offenders. The anonymity provided by the Internet and the ability to effectively hide volumes of information on computers, cell phones, PDAs and other electronic storage devices leaves officers at a disadvantage when this information cannot be discovered. Non-forensic methods of discovery are ineffective and can compromise cases in court. The lab provides scientifically sound forensic services for recovery of electronic evidence so supervising officers can more effectively determine an offender’s activities thereby maximizing corrections resources, enhancing public safety and ensuring the highest rates of successful outcomes.
