Dedicated to the branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. This field involves the application of several information security principles and aims to provide for attribution and event reconstruction following forth from audit processes. This subreddit is not limited to just personal computers and encompasses all media that may also fall under digital forensics (e.g., cellphones, video, etc.).
Hi! I am a senior in highschool and I have wanted to work in computer forensics for a long time. I particularly want to do work in criminal investigations. I know a lot of places that offer jobs include law enforcement agencies, places like the FBI, etc. However, this poses one problem for me. I'm neurodivergent and I have a fear of gunshots. The noise is basically unbearable for me. I was wondering if a lot these positions would require me to undergo firearms training. For an example, would working for the FBI in a position like this mean I would need to carry a gun regardless of what job I had? Gunshots are basically the only phobia I have, but I'm worried it could prevent me from getting a job. This is probably a really weird question but it's been plaguing me regardless and I'd like to know.
Thanks ahead of time :)
