of Computer Crime Investigators (WACCI), is a growing
group of law enforcement and private sector professionals
that have joined together to exchange information regarding
computer crimes. Our monthly meetings attract a wide range
of experts who share investigative technicques, discuss
new technology and assist each other in the investigation
of computer-related crime. These training sessions attract
the top local/ regional experts in computer crimes/ forensics,
drawing expertise from both law enforcement and private
industry. WACCI members also work to increase public awareness
regarding computer- related crimes.

Fall 2007 WACCI/FACT Forensic Conference Highlights!
Approximately 100 government and private forensic investigators attended the Fall 2007 WACCI/ FACT training conference held at the Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC) in Pewaukee, WI September 26-28, 2007.
The conference was held at WCTC's Richard T.
Anderson Education Center. A number of forensic product vendors were present, including Digital Intelligence, Access Data, Wetstone, Tableau, ADF, Paraben Guidance Software and others.
Attendees were offered some of the best forensic training presented in Wisconsin recently. The 20 hours of presentations were wide-ranging in topic and well worth the price of admission. Some of the training was provided by WACCI members.
The Wednesday night picnic was well attended, and provided the perfect venue for networking between law enforcement, private industry and the product vendors. As this was an inaugural event, the great turnout and high quality speakers made it easy to declare the conference a success!. WCTC did a great job of helping to promote this conference. Most importantly, a sincere thank you to all of the conference committee members for your efforts!
