As our lives become more dependent on digital technology, cyber crime is increasing in our society. There is now an ever-increasing need to counter cyber crime through digital forensics investigations. With rapid developments in technology such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and mobile computing, it is vital to ensure proper training of law enforcement personnel and judges in the theory and practice of digital forensics. In this paper, we describe our methods and approach to create curricula, educational materials, and courses for training law en- forcement and judicial personnel in digital forensics. We partnered with legal experts to design a series of modules/courses on digital forensics to educate the actual target demographics. Training materials have been designed to be not only scalable to nationwide law enforcement and ju- dicial professionals, but also amenable to regular updates to respond to rapidly changing attacks and forensic techniques.
