Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence

The NCFS is involved with the Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence, an FBI-initiated group designed to create standards in the field.

The Chair of the group is Dara Sewell of the Computer Analysis Response Team at the FBI Laboratory. The Vice Chair is Mike Phelan of the Drug Enforcement Agency. The Executive Secretary is our own Carrie Whitcomb, Director of the NCFS.

NCFS actively pursues relationships with law enforcement in the Central Florida region. One such method was by initiating the Central Florida Computer Forensics group, which in partnership with the United States Department of Justice Attorney's Office (Middle District of Florida) and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, meet the third Thursday of every month to discuss locals issues of common interest related to computer crimes, training and cooperative efforts. Digital Evidence provides a challenge for the National Center for Forensic Science and the country as a whole. We are doing our best with our own research and the partnerships we make to rise to the occasion, to serve and enable state and local law enforcement to do their job to ensure justice.
