I was able to gain firsthand exposure to real-world investigations and the application of digital forensic techniques. While limited to due to policies, I was still able to gain manual experience for logging and receiving digital forensic cases. I would highly recommend any future digital forensics student at the University of Central Oklahoma to have the Oklahoma Department of Corrections as one of their top choices when applying for a practicum site. My experience from this opportunity has strengthened and created knowledge that will assist me in my future career.
