Actually, Mr. Schmidt was a Special Agent for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations as well as a Chandler Police Officer (Arizona). So you are wrong.. He was a law enforcement officer. He is certainly NOT the father of Forensics and if he does claim that, he should be ashamed of himself for making such claims for he is recklessly disregarding those who came before him.

I know while serving as a Special Agent with OSI, he did some visionary things and truely wanted to make the computer crime program at OSI the best in the world. He recruited some of the best CCIs OSI has ever seen and made sure they were trained well. It was because of red tape and Air Force bureaucracy which finally bled him dry and he decided to leave. Kinda ironic since I've heard he vowed never to work for the govt again while leaving.

I'm not for the guy, but you should know a person better before flaming him on an open forum.
