A computer forensics technician, also referred to as a computer forensic tech, looks for information that is relevant to an investigation. They examine cell phones, tablets, electronic notebooks, computer hard drives, flash drives, video game consoles, and other electronics that could supply significant evidence. They may also analyze the data, using software programs or other tools to determine relevant information. A computer forensics technician must follow all legal policies and procedures. A computer forensic tech often works with cyber crime and security but may be brought in on other cases that require technical knowledge.
