High Tech Crime Investigation's Training For Investigators by Investigators
Pre-HTCIA History
In 1984, a California based industrial security managers group approached the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office to discuss their concerns about high technology crime. They noted there was a strong need for additional law enforcement training and investigative expertise to address this disturbing trend.
