Seems like most people are fans of CSI-style detective programs, and the area's community college has a course that just might catch the fancy of some of them.

In the fall, Northern Essex in Haverhill will launch a new certificate program—computer forensics—designed for students with a penchant for computers and CSI detective programs.

This joint effort by NECC's criminal justice and computer information sciences departments will address a growing need for computer forensics skills in law enforcement and information technology. This certificate program is for both the seasoned professional and neophyte computer detective.

Computer Forensics I is scheduled to run Wednesdays from 3:30 to 8 p.m.
