Forensic Image Specialist

Our Forensic Imaging Unit comprises one full-time employee working with the Crime Scene Investigations Unit and Computer Forensics Unit. There are also four additional personnel in the department who are also graduates of the FBI's Digital Imaging and Video Recovery Team (DIVRT) training program.

With the increasing prevalence and quality of video surveillance systems in businesses and homes, the ability to quickly obtain and share images of a suspect or a crime can make a major difference in bringing offenders to justice and working with the public to make Clackamas County a safer place.
