Revealing insights were collected from over 2,000 law enforcement\n agency personnel, in over 110 countries to compile a report \nbenchmarking the industry&#8217;s day-to-day challenges for agency management \nand investigative teams. The report revealed seven major trends in \ndigital intelligence, spotlighting where law enforcement agencies have \nroom to drive operational efficiencies and standards for lawfully \nhandling and securing digital data that is defensible in the court of \nlaw.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;We are seeing an increasing trend with law enforcement, who are now \nleveraging digital evidence to expedite case conclusions,&#8221; said Yossi Carmil,\n Co-CEO of Cellebrite. &#8220;Agency managers are focused on transforming \ntheir organizations by implementing Digital Intelligence solutions. \nThere is a need to empower frontline responders in the field to access \ninformation that is critical to reduce time to evidence.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The benchmark survey supports this fact.&nbsp; Seventy-five percent of \ninvestigators report that gathering digital evidence at the scene of the\n crime is critical for investigations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Carmil continued, &#8220;Additionally, managing the data to drive \ncollaboration for investigators and prosecution is pivotal to identify \ndefensible data and for justice to be fairly served.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The survey revealed valuable statistics and shared a road map for the\n future of policing by highlighting the technologies that will decrease \nthe data deluge as well as the solutions that will expedite \ntime-to-evidence. The seven key trends Cellebrite&#8217;s 2020 Annual DI \nIndustry Benchmark Report spotlights are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Agencies Recognize the Growing Role of Digital Data but are Slow to Adapt<br><\/strong>Digital\n data is proving to be more informative and crucial when solving law \nenforcement cases than physical evidence. Cellebrite&#8217;s survey shows that\n 43 percent of agencies report either a poor or mediocre strategy or no \ndigital intelligence strategy at all. Yet, 64 percent of agency management see digital investigations playing &#8220;a very high role&#8221; in keeping communities safe. With more than 82 percent growth in the role of digital data from devices compared to three years ago, the need for a highly trained staff to be able to navigate and leverage vast amounts of data has increased dramatically.<br>&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>Lack of Comfort Highlights Need for Faster Extraction in the Field <br><\/strong>Digital\n evidence captured at the scene of a crime from witnesses and victims \nwith consent-based authorization often contains valuable insights. \nHowever, the current means of capturing this digital evidence presents a\n problem to investigative teams. The survey revealed that over 70 \npercent of officers are still asking witnesses and victims to surrender \ntheir devices so evidence can be extracted at the station or in a lab. \nHowever, most people do not want to have their primary communication \ndevice taken away for an indefinite period. To combat this issue, 67 \npercent of agency management believe that mobility technology is \nimportant or very important to the agency&#8217;s long-term digital evidence \nstrategy and 72 percent of investigators believe it is important to conduct in-the-field extractions of this data. <br>&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>Agency Managers Are Looking at Modernization Initiatives to Help Attract A New Generation of Digital Savvy Officers<br><\/strong>Eighty-four\n percent of agency management rate mobility technology (i.e. Mobile \nFirst) as being important to their long-term digital intelligence \nstrategy. As the next generation of tech-savvy frontline officers \nbegins to leverage technology at crime scenes, a new level of \ninvestigative effectiveness is becoming possible. Most agency managers \nbelieve police forces that embrace mobile tech to collect digital \nevidence in the field will help reduce turnover and be significantly \nmore prepared to meet the digital evidence challenges of 2020.<br>&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>Lab Examiners Are Drowning in Data &amp; Device Overload<br><\/strong>Cellebrite\n research shows the number of data sources continues to grow for \nexaminers. On average, each case has 2-4 mobile devices that need to be \nexamined, while 45 percent of cases will also involve a computer \nexamination. This means examiners typically conduct 26 mobile device examinations monthly, translating to 300+ annually per agency.\n Smartphones continue to top the list of most frequent evidence sources,\n but the variety of digital sources used in investigations is \nincreasing. Source such as CCTV, wearables, smart home technology, IoT \ndevices, drones, cars and even gaming systems, are being used by \ncriminals more frequently to mask illegal activity. <br>&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>Storing and Sharing Digital Evidence is A Key Concern of Agency Managers<br><\/strong>Sixty-four percent say that governance and management of data are very important. This\n is particularly important due to the large amounts of data that need to\n be maintained. If the data is mismanaged, it can quickly be misplaced \nin various locations like a thumb drive or improper place on the server.\n Additionally, the data could be stored in an employee&#8217;s personal cloud \naccount or storage device which presents a serious issue if the staff is\n no longer employed.<br>&nbsp; <\/li><li><strong>Budget and Overtime Constraints Limit Digital Investigation Efficiency <br><\/strong>With\n the deluge of digital devices and cloud data sources, examiners face an\n average 3-month backlog and an average backlog of 89 devices per \nstation. In order to address these backlogs, examiners increasingly \nneed to prioritize and only examine time-sensitive data, or data from \ncertain cases. Budget constraints mean working overtime is no longer an \noption, as seen in the nearly 20 percent decrease in overtime hour \nallowances in the last year. For this reason, the need to prioritize \ndigital intelligence analysis and management has risen to 40 percent \nthis year, in comparison to 25 percent last year. The biggest challenges\n labs face continues to be locked devices and encrypted apps; 6 out of 10 devices that reach the lab are locked. <br><\/li><li><strong>High Demand for Digital Data Analytics for Investigations <br><\/strong>Investigators\n and examiners are facing challenges in managing the explosion of \ndigital data when paired with budget cuts and the shortage of overtime \nallowances. Only 25 percent have adopted digital analytic tools. While \nin the past mobile device storage was limited to a few gigabytes, the \nnew generation of devices has storage reaching as high as 1TB. Despite \nthe variety of digital sources and the amount of digital data that \ntypically need to be reviewed in an investigation, most Law Enforcement \nagencies are using manual reviews instead of applying AI-based \nsolutions. This means, on average, investigators spend 43 hours per week reviewing evidence and reporting on it \u2013 up from 37 hours in the prior year. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 2020 and beyond, investigations will need to utilize artificial \nintelligence to sort through the mountains of incoming data, to \nautomatically find and filter specific objects in images, find keywords \nin text conversations and create relationship analysis. Over 70 percent \nof survey respondents said that these AI-enabled features will be very \nimportant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Furthermore, with the various evidence sources, investigators will \nneed the ability to unify disparate data and view it easily and \nlogically. In fact, 80 percent of investigators believe data unification\n is important, and 87 percent believe viewing activities visually on a \nmap is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information about Cellebrite and the 2020 Annual Industry Benchmark Report, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2757684-1&amp;h=3582550349&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cellebrite.com%2Fen%2Finsights%2Findustry-report&amp;a=Benchmark+results+site\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Benchmark results site<\/a>. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn more about how Cellebrite&#8217;s Digital Intelligence solutions are helping agencies transform, read the company&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/c212.net\/c\/link\/?t=0&amp;l=en&amp;o=2757684-1&amp;h=1812902544&amp;u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cellebrite.com%2Fnewsroom&amp;a=Digital+Intelligence+for+Agency+Management\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Digital Intelligence for Agency Management<\/a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>About Cellebrite <br><\/strong>Cellebrite is the \nglobal leader of Digital Intelligence solutions for the law enforcement,\n government and enterprise organizations.
