| About the Training Center |
The National Forensics Training Center is funded by the Department of Justice to train law enforcement officers to fight cyber crime. With the growing level of cyber crime today, it is critical that law enforcement officers have the ability to handle and examine digital evidence. The NFTC seeks to solve this issue by offering training in a broad range of cyber crime areas. The training that is offered by the NFTC is free of charge for all law enforcement personnel. All meals and lodging needs are provided for the students attending the training.
| Our Facilites |
