Welcome to the Western New York's Regional Computer Forensics Laboratory's (WNYRCFL) Web page. On September 7, 2006, we officially opened for business - and accept service requests from any law enforcement agency within the designated 17 counties of Western New York.
The WNYRCFL's mission is to provide our customers with high quality digital forensics services and training. We invite both the general public and our colleagues in law enforcement to visit this Web site often to learn more about the science of digital forensics, and to take full advantage of the many services, training, and valuable expertise that the WNYRCFL has to offer.
