The Digital Forensics Programme is delivering a project designed to enhance the adoption of digital forensics technology across UK policing. These initiatives are key to our broader strategy of modernising investigative practices and ensuring a consistent approach nationwide.
We’re working to accelerate cloud adoption in UK Policing, aiming to boost efficiency and security. Our efforts focus on improving national compliance and standardisation in Digital Forensics (DF), with the goal of increasing UKAS accreditation and enhancing the experience for victims and witnesses.
We’re also committed to building trust in DF services and improving resource efficiency.
Validation
National provision of validation materials and ground truth data, hosted on the central validation library, to support forces and DFUs with compliance and accreditation.
How does the Digital Forensics Programme support policing’s wider strategic ambitions?
This work meets several strategic ambitions defined in the Digital Forensic Social Strategy, National Police Digital Strategy, Violence against Women and Girls Framework and the Police Productivity Review.
