Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator (CHFI) — Question 104

You are working for a local police department that services a population of 1,000,000 people and you have been given the task of building a computer forensics lab. How many law-enforcement computer investigators should you request to staff the lab?

Answer options

• A. 8
• B. 1
• C. 4
• D. 2

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as studies suggest that for a population of this size, a staffing level of around 4 investigators is optimal to handle the volume of cases effectively. Options A, B, and D either overestimate or underestimate the necessary staffing, which could lead to inefficiencies in processing forensic evidence.
