Alignment to the Chief Constable’s Vision
The impact from a lack of evolution and investment in DF is recognised at an organisational level, and is committed as a priority under the Chief Constables 2030 three-year vision and business plan, notably:
- Enhance capabilities of digital forensic laboratories to create efficiencies and keep up with technological developments.
- Invest in capabilities outlined within our PDWP workstreams to better prevent, protect, prepare and pursue cybercrime, including enhancing capabilities of digital forensic laboratories to gain formal accreditation, create efficiencies and keep pace with technological developments.
