Acknowledgments

It is with a deep sense of appreciation that I thank each of my colleague contributing authors for their many years of service to improving our Forensic Computer Crime Investigation units and for their important contributions to this text. Their individualand collective service to our police departments and our universities has touched the lives of so many excellent individuals in law enforcement as well as those who are preparing for such careers. It has been my great honor and privilege to work with eachof them.

To my wife, Colleen R. Johnson, for her patience, knowledge, encouragement, support, and understanding, I am truly grateful.
