Digital Forensics Roundtable Discussion - Use of Digital Forensics in Police Investigations

At this stage, in person tickets are limited to one person per organisation.

Almost every crime committed today leaves behind some form of digital footprint. While this presents valuable opportunities for law enforcement to uncover critical evidence, it also introduces a significant challenge to Policing with the sheer volume of digital data that must be analysed. As technology continues to advance, the amount of information generated grows exponentially, making it increasingly difficult for police forces to sift through vast quantities of data efficiently and effectively.

Join techUK for a briefing and discussion with Mark Greenhalgh, Detective Chief Superintendent and Head of Business Change, Digital Forensics Programme and Richard Meffen, Head of Forensics Portfolio, Police Digital Service as we delve into topics including:

• Progress under the Digital Forensics Programme. Understand the successes, wins and what challenges policing faced in the delivery of this. (including the delivery of the Digital Forensic Science Strategy in July 2020)

• NPCC overview of work against HMICFRS activity, including current ongoing work and future plans for NPCC.

• Data extraction from devices to be used as evidence to support criminal investigations.  Including, victim experiences and their interactions with Policing and the wider justice system.

• Data sharing and collaboration across forces include challenges surrounding data siloes and interoperability.

• With funding challenges, how policing and industry can best collaborate in order to deliver results under existing budgets or (lack of) future budgets.

• Data growth expectations that policing are seeing and, what is needed from industry.

• With data growth, how policing sees cloud interacting.

• Where forces are seeing the development of digital forensics at the edge.

• Guidelines forces are adhering to and, challenges around future proofing and standardisation regarding adoption and industry engagement.
