Jan 1 2006 Establishment of the Cyber Crime Forensics Institute (CCFI)
The FY06 Science, Commerce, Justice and State Appropriations Act provided $1 million for the establishment of The Cyber Crime and Forensics Institute in East Stroudsburg, PA. East Stroudsburg University, along with Drexel University of Philadelphia, PA and Rider University of Lawrenceville, NJ, have created a cross disciplinary program that addresses the abuse of computers and related communication technologies, including the Internet. In establishing The Institute, Congress has helped create a multi-university, cross disciplinary program that eliminates the obstacles that typically impede academia’s response to the fast acting, fast mutating and highly resourceful factors surrounding computer crimes. The mission of The Institute is to: (1) educate and develop the next-generation computer forensics practitioners for US law enforcement; (2) assist law-enforcement agencies in personnel training and expert resources for consultation and analysis; and (3) conduct cross disciplinary state-of-the-art research in computer forensics.
