In addition, students may pursue an Associate of Science in Criminal Justice degree, a Criminal Justice emphasis as part of the Integrated Studies baccalaureate degree, or a Certificate of Completion in Computer Forensics. Southwest Regional Computer Crime Institute (SWRCCI) The Southwest Regional Criminal Justice Computer Crime Institute (SWRCCI) is a unique enterprise providing oversight to operations, projects, and finances involving DSU Criminal Justice faculty and students interfacing with local, state, regional, and national law enforcement officers and programs to educate traditional Criminal Justice majors and provide a new Criminal Justice focus on high tech crime. The Institute educates consumers, law enforcement, and criminal justice students (future law enforcement officers) on identify theft and computer related crimes. The SWRCCI includes a cyber crime lab that will be used to train DSU students and Utah s local and statewide law enforcement officers in modern techniques necessary for combating the growing incidences of computer-based crime. They learn how to collect online evidence, dissect and analyze storage disks, keep detailed logs, protect the chain of custody and present expert testimony in court. The Institute facilitates cooperation between law enforcement and academia that strengthens the region s and Utah s crime fighting efforts. The Institute also provides scholarships for top students and coordinates internships with law enforcement agencies targeting Utah computer crime. This real-life hands-on experience provides DSU students with experience for high level private and government jobs upon graduation. The goal is to provide the criminal justice field with focused graduates who have sufficient computer science skills to effectively meet and stay ahead of the threat. What is the study of Criminal Justice? The contemporary field of Criminal Justice is diverse; topics of study include law enforcement, criminal investigation, causes of criminal behavior, corrections, and more. Whether a student desires to enter law enforcement or to pursue a graduate degree in the behavioral sciences, this program intends to offer the appropriate education.

Law enforcement agencies use digital forensics to gather digital evidence for a variety of crimes including child pornography, fraud, terrorism, extortion, cyberstalking, money laundering, forgery, and identity theft. The military and government intelligence agencies use digital forensics in internal investigations and to gather intelligence information from computers captured during military actions. JOB OUTLOOK* Vast opportunities are available to individuals who are well-trained in the burgeoning field of digital forensics. SALARY RANGE* Median annual wages of salaried private detectives and investigators are $42,870. Salaries for digital forensics specialists in goverment and corporate positions are higher at just over $50,000, but those positions are highly competetive. Wages of private detectives and investigators vary greatly by employer, specialty, and geographic area.
