This ensures our forensic casework is robust and our methods will meet yours and the Criminal Justice Systems requirements.
For our Reporting Practitioners / Expert Witnesses to provide a comprehensive evidential accredited and FSR compliant statement we need you to provide:
You will receive a statement with associated exhibits as required, written with presentation to the jury in mind, to make it understandable to all. Your Reporting Practitioner / Expert Witness will be available to attend court to give Expert testimony bringing the findings in the report to life.
Instructing a Cell Site Expert enables you to understand call data evidence clearly and reliably. An Expert can assess the data, explain what it does and does not show and provide an independent Expert opinion.
What is Cell Site Analysis?
Cell Site Analysis is the use of mobile phone network data to show where a phone had the potential to be at a certain time. By reviewing Call Data Records (CDR’s) you can identify which phone mast and cell a phone was using during calls, texts or data sessions. One of our competent and experienced Reporting Practitioners can use this information to provide a picture of the phone’s possible location and movement.
What is a Radio Frequency Survey?
An RF survey is a technique using specialist equipment to record the radio frequency landscape at a given location at a given time. Used in conjunction with CDR’s it strengthens the information that can be used to illustrate a phones potential location and movement. It is best practice to undertake a survey as soon as practicable after an offence to mitigate for network changes.
What is Potential Co-Location?
Cell site analysis techniques enable Reporting Practitioners / Expert Witnesses to assess if two or more mobile phones had the potential to have been in the same location at the same time or could have travelled together. This can provide critical information to strengthen your investigation and can be used to confirm or deny potential co-location or attribution of a secondary handset.
