Law enforcement staffing guidelines for computer forensics labs commonly recommend approximately one investigator per 250,000 people in the served population. For a population of 1,000,000, that ratio yields 4 investigators (1,000,000 ÷ 250,000 = 4). This is a standard benchmark referenced in EC-Council and similar certification curricula for lab planning and resource allocation.
