Work Experience - DS wants to work for the police

[OrangeFace]

Any idea what kind of work experience he could do when his dream job is to be a computer forensic analysist?

I would imagine that he'd need to study computer science to a high level to get a job in that sort of area and know a lot about the internal workings of chips and technical stuff in great detail.
Do the companies who do 'data recovery' offer work experience placements? Otherwise anything that gets him into the 'bowels' of the computer's workings and insight into the methods of extracting 'deleted' data.

Can the IT at school staff give you any guidance?
