Digital investigator. Willcox created a digital forensic lab at his Georgia university that federal, state and local law enforcement agencies can use. He also reviewed 500 electronic devices involved in 120 felony cases in 12 months to reduce the backlog from one year to 30 days for digital investigators looking into all manner of crimes in southeast Georgia, including homicides.
