     ◊  We have excellent IT staff so why shouldn't we let them handle our       
          forensic investigations?
         

Your IT staff is excellent because they have education, training and                   experience in IT matters.  However they probably do not have the training and experience needed for a forensic investigation. They may well be involved in what you need investigated.  Most would be uncomfortable investigating a colleague. A perception of bias is always there when you conduct your own investigations. Rumors and bad publicity could result if discretion is not observed. If not properly trained and proper protocal and procedures followed the evidence if found may not be admissable in court.

Your staff is probably not experienced in investigations and in testifying in court.  If they cannot qualify as an expert witness the testimony they are allowed to give will be limited in scope.
