Your computer investigation firm has been hired to verify the local police department's findings on a current case. Tension over the case is running high in the city. What do you need to ask the police investigator for, and what procedures should you follow? Consider what test you might use to validate the police department's findings. The test will be used as court evidence. Write a 1-2 page report outlining what you need to do.

Case Project 14-3:

Your manager has asked you to research and recommend a writing guide that examiners in your computer forensics organization will use for all official written reports. Conduct research on the Internet to find information about style manuals and technical and legal writing guides. You should also research writing guides from professional associations, such as the IEEE and the American Psychological Association. Write a 2-3 page report recommending a style manual and/or technical/legal writing guide for your organization to use and explain the reasons for your recommendations. (Note that you might want to combine guidelines from different sources in coming up with recommendations for computer forensic reports.)
