TECH CRIME INCORPORATED was established by a retired RCMP Officer who served as a supervisor and senior forensic analyst in the technological crime unit, specializing in cybercrime and digital forensics investigations, including matters of national security and espionage. Our founder also held a position at Cellebrite Inc., the global leader in digital intelligence, as a Cellebrite Certified Senior Instructor and Digital Intelligence Advisor. In this role, he instructed beginner, intermediate, and advanced mobile device and computer forensics courses internationally.
In 2023, Cellebrite contracted our founder, Criss, to continue teaching digital forensics. He has since conducted classes in the United States and Germany.
At TECH CRIME INCORPORATED, we do more than just forensic analysis; we educate law enforcement agencies worldwide. Our services are available in both English and German.
