Create a list of government agencies to which computer and cybercrimes should be reported.
Assignment Requirements
You are a digital forensics intern at Azorian Computer Forensics, a privately owned forensics
investigations and data recovery firm in the Denver, Colorado area.
Your company creates a quarterly newsletter for its clients, many of which are law enforcement agencies,
law firms, corporations, and insurance companies. It’s a Tuesday morning and you are sitting in a
meeting with the team that produces the newsletter. While everyone is discussing which new section
could be added to the newsletter, the senior editor turns to you and asks for your opinion. This is your
chance to come up with a brilliant idea! You suggest that the company includes an insert containing
contact information for and brief descriptions of government agencies to which computer crimes should
be reported. The information would be very helpful to clients and could increase readership. She likes
your idea and asks you to create the document. The document should include contact information for:
The local police department
The county sheriff’s office
The state police agency
Because the upcoming newsletter issue has several articles on cybercrime in particular, your document
should also include the federal investigative law enforcement agencies that handle the following types of
Internet-based crime:
Internet fraud and spam
Internet harassment
Create the document, presenting the local, county, and state contact information in one table and the
Internet-based crime federal agency information in a second table.
