TASK FORCE EXPERIENCE 

I am currently a member of the Michigan State Police (MSP) Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task 

Force. I am located in the Bridgeport, MI office, one of seven (7) offices located throughout Michigan. The 

other six offices are located in Livonia, Coldwater, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Traverse City, and Marquette. The 

Task Force in Bridgeport is responsible for the 3rd District which covers from Lapeer, MI to West Branch, Ml. 

In addition to myself, there are 4 investigators and 2 Digital Forensic Examiners in training. These individuals 

serve full time on the Task Force as well as the MSP Computer Crimes Unit. I am an Affiliate with the Task 

Force. My home Department is the Michigan Department of Corrections. I perform computer and cellular 

examinations statewide focusing on the 3rd District. 

The ICAC Task Force work environment is similar to a Computer Analysis and Response Team (CART) or a 

Regional Computer Forensic Laboratory (RCFL) that are found in other Regions of the United States. We 

participate in peer review, training and collaboration nationally and internationally. Our Task Force routinely 

conducts forensic examinations for State, local, and Federal agencies. 

TRAINING/PRESENTATIONS 

Since 2009, I have conducted over 200 hours of Field Search and Social Networking training to MDOC Field 

Agents. I have given over 25 presentations to various groups, classes, and audiences reference Computer 

Crimes and the ICAC Task Force.
