How do I start or get my foot in the door in digital forensics jobs in Central Florida? I am looking either city, state or federal.

My back ground: I do not have a degree. I did a few years of pre-med at a local university. I did study Osteology and handled human bone remains part of the course in university. I worked as a CNA for less than a year and 3-4 years as a laboratory assistant at a level 1 trauma hospital to process human body fluids (blood, sputum, urine, and more).

When I changed my career to IT I recently graduated from certification courses at local community College in hardware, Network and cybersecurity. I have worked in IT for close to 5 years. Less than a year IT help desk for a hospital, 3 years tech support technician for a local school system K-12 and recently close to 2 years now as a NOC (network operation technician)tech.

I am working to get my exams done to get my Comptia A+, Network+ and Security + certifications.

I recently gained a P2 clearance, I don't mind having my background checked, HIPAA and chain of custody is not foreign to me and I do want to work in digital forensics to use my expertise and experiences for my community to gather information or preserve evidence. I have an interest the merge of tech and forensics merge from my lab experience and recent tech experience.

I just would like to know how to start or what groups exist in Central Florida to work for more government or local services area with no degree.

Thank you for your response.
