Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | UK police outsource digital forensics to unaccredited firms – reports Police forces across the UK are reportedly failing to meet a minimum quality standard for analyzing digital data, and have outsourced digital investigations to unaccredited private laboratories.
At least 15 police forces were found to have outsourced digital forensics work on mobile phones and computers to private firms, according to a report in the Guardian. Meanwhile, some 27 police forces failed to meet an October government deadline to bring their in-house laboratories up to minimum quality standard for digital analysis.
One private forensics firm, the Stoke-based Sytech, continued to have work sent to them by Greater Manchester Police, despite the firm being told to halt its operations following a failed inspection by the UK Accreditation Service, according to the newspaper. RT has contacted UKAS, Sytech and Greater Manchester Police for comment. [ link to www.rt.com (secure)] Private labs that no doubt have employees that can help cover stuff up. |
