Description

The Digital Forensics Programme (DFP) launched in 2022 to deliver several projects to optimise how digital forensics is undertaken in policing. This is comprised of five overarching projects:
• Selective Examination & Extraction (SEE)
• Automation
• Validation
• Enduring Capability
• Rape Response Review Project Tech Uplift 2 (RRRP2)
The Validation project aims to establish a centralised validation and GTD service, reducing the validation burden of ISO17025 and the FSR CoPC and facilitating the deployment of digital forensics software in police forces. This will minimise duplication of activities by conducting validation activities centrally rather than locally.
The current Validation scope includes the critical validation activity required to ensure the success of software implementations associated with the RRRP2, SEE and Automation projects.
In FY25, the Validation Project aims to complete the following activities, for validation of digital forensic tools within the DFP portfolio.
The validation will be conducted using both newly procured devices and existing digital devices containing ground truth data (GTD) and will meet the requirements for the ISO 17025:2017 and the Forensic Science Regulator's Codes of Practice and Conduct (FSR CoPC).
