Forward Edge II is an interactive, computer-based training program which
takes the next step in training law enforcement officers to conduct electronic crime
investigations.
Originally created in 2001, more than 50,000 copies of
Forward Edge have
been distributed local and state law enforcement, private industry, and U.S. Attorneys
Offices at no cost to the user. The training incorporates virtual reality features
as it presents different investigative scenarios to the trainee. Copies of state
computer crime laws for each of the fifty states as well as corresponding sample
affidavits are also part of the training program and are immediately accessible
for instant implementation.
Forward Edge II is the 2006 update to the original training and uses DVD,
CD-ROM and the internet to enhance the training experience.
