Over his career, he has conducted hundreds of forensic extractions and examinations on mobile devices, computers, vehicles, and other related digital evidence items.

Richard is joined by his peers, detectives with experience in video recovery and the handling of digital evidence, in instructing the courses.
Penumbra was founded with law enforcement in mind, offering training in these cybercrime topics. We found that there was a lack of accessible, entry-level training for local, tribal, and state law enforcement agencies. The courses provided are geared toward all levels, from patrol to investigators to support staff. Training is also offered to government bodies that work closely with law enforcement in the investigation and prosecution of criminal activity.
