How Leicestershire Police is transforming digital forensics and reducing backlogs

Date: Tuesday 13 May
Time: 13:00 – 14:00 (GMT)
Location: Online webinar hosted by PolicingTV

Digital forensics units across the UK are under increasing pressure. Rising case volumes, data complexity, and stretched resources have created backlogs —  some forces report waits of six to twelve months for device analysis — an unsustainable challenge in today’s digital-first crime landscape.

Leicestershire Police is tackling these challenges head-on, collaborating with Telefónica Tech to develop a Digital Forensics Blueprint, introduced at this year’s Mobile World Congress (watch the MWC session here). Now, this exclusive webinar takes the next step — showing how that vision is being put into practice.

Webinar Highlights

Detective Constable Anthony Jones, a digital forensics specialist with Leicestershire Police’s Cyber Crime Team, shares how the blueprint is being deployed and share their transformation journey.

He’ll be joined by Marc Lees from Magnet Forensics, who will demonstrate how solutions like AUTOMATE and REVIEW are improving workflows, accelerating case turnaround, and supporting operational decision-making.

You’ll see how this approach is delivering:

• Faster case turnaround times
• Streamlined digital evidence workflows
• Improved review capability for frontline officers
• Reduced pressure on forensic analysts
• Scalable, secure infrastructure – powered by HPE
