The Computer Crime Investigative Unit's (CCIU) primary mission is to conduct criminal investigations concerning intrusions into U.S. Army computer networks. Because investigations of this nature require a level of computer expertise not usually found in most CID Special Agents, CCIU personnel receive advanced computer training from the Defense Cyber Investigations Training Academy, Federal Law Enforcement Training Center and other technical experts. CCIU Special Agents also use their specialized knowledge of information technology to provide guidance to other CID Special Agents who conduct investigations involving computers and assist the U.S. Army in maintaining the integrity and security of its networks. Certain CCIU Special Agents receive advanced training in processing and analyzing digital evidence. For more information visit:
