Digital Investigation
Digital evidence is now central to almost every serious criminal investigation. The volume of material forces are expected to process has grown faster than the human capacity to review it.
Aim Ltd cut officer time spent on mobile device forensics by 70 to 90% at the Metropolitan Police. Chorus Intelligence helped Thames Valley secure an attempted murder conviction through telematics analysis — and mapped West Midlands OCG drug supply networks in hours. Forensic Analytics reduced telecoms processing time by 84% in Gloucestershire. Detego is triaging seized devices in under 20 minutes in Staffordshire. Norfolk and Suffolk cut evidence retrieval from days to minutes using FotoWare.
Behind every queued device is a case. Behind every case is someone waiting.
