Digital Forensic Challenges in the Police Force

Digital forensics have transformed crime prevention and the handling of cases permanently. 

With over 5,000 British police officers able to work cases remotely and upload sensitive evidence directly to the cloud, forensic investigations that could have taken days or even weeks to resolve can now be dealt with instantaneously. 

So how have strides in technology led to clearing case backlogs, securing faster convictions for violent criminals and bringing faster closure to victims and their families?

In this episode of the EM360 Podcast, Head of Content Matt Harris speaks to West Midlands Police’s Detective John Price and Jon Cook, International Training Instructor at Exterro, about:

  • Biggest challenges with digital forensics within the UK police force
  • Moving digital forensics into the cloud
  • The impact of FTK implementation
