Tender description

Provision of digital forensic examination services for the Ministry f Defence Police (MDP) Crime Command. As a result of changes in the requirements for the accreditation of Digital forensic Units (DFU), a decision was made to close the Ministry of Defence Police (MDP) Digital examination capability unit. The examination of seized Digital Media is a key element in over 90 % of MDP Crime Command (CC) investigations. The submission of digital devices is required to enable professionally accredited analysts to extract and analyse the data contained within and produce it in an intelligence or evidential package. The majority of communication and trading in today’so world is completed on a digital platform. Digital media is seized during the course of any investigation because it is believed that it contains evidence pertinent to the current investigation. If the device is not subjected to digital forensic analysis then evidence that is located on the device will be missed and will impact on any CPS charging decision and thus be detrimental to the investigation and possible prosecution.
