Case Study: Forward Edge

Computers and electronic equipment are used to commit crime every day. Because of their expertise, the U.S. Secret Service works with local, state and federal law enforcement authorities to combat electronic crime. In their constant effort to share information with those they work with, the Secret Service contracted Stonehouse Media to create "Forward Edge", an interactive, computer-based training tool. Forward Edge employs virtual reality, video, and three scenarios to teach the user how to properly identify and seize electronic evidence. Forward Edge also includes an extensive Field Guide with hundreds of pages of documents on e-crime laws in all 50 states, a guide to spotting counterfeit notes, and forms for cataloging and submitting evidence. Forward Edge was distributed to law enforcement and Fortune 500 corporations around the country.
