Mobile Devices (18248/19)


I am requesting information for the purpose of a dissertation. If it is possible to get any information regarding the points below, that would be very useful to my research.

-Statistics on the number of crimes committed using a mobile device in the past 5 years (per year would be great if that’s possible)

-How many cases have been resolved through the use of mobile evidence in court

-Do you have any framework/training procedures that are used for training digital investigators, if so what are they?

I understand that some information may be sensitive but a response none the less would be greatly appreciated.





Please note that researching each individual case would exceed the appropriate limit (FOIA, s.12).  There is no way of identifying if a mobile device was used in the commission of an offence.  We would need to conduct a manual search of all relevant records in order to locate and retrieve this information.
