Attached is a press release from the United States Attorneys Office regarding Michael Bruce Hays from Winston Oregon who was sentenced to 10 years for possession of child pornography.
In 2009 members of the Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force assisted the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) with a search warrant in Winston, Oregon as a result of an undercover Internet investigation. All of the computer forensic examinations were done by Certified Forensic Computer Examiners within the Central Point based forensics lab.
The Southern Oregon High-Tech Crimes Task Force is a regional, multi-jurisdictional task force that provides cyber crime investigations and digital forensic services to over 30 federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. The task force is the only standalone state/local law enforcement digital evidence forensics laboratory in the entire world that is accredited by the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors Laboratory Accreditation Board (ASCDL/LAB)'s legacy program.
The task force is staffed by personnel from the City of Central Point Police Department and the City of Medford Police Department.
