COPSGRID Launched: Centre for Police Technology Unveils Smart Policing and Digital Forensics Grid for LEAs

The CopsGrid project, initiated by the Centre for Police Technology, seeks to establish a unified collaborative platform that brings together police agencies, forensic specialists, technology vendors and investigators under one interoperable ecosystem. The CPT, in partnership with industry, start-ups and OEMs, is already acting as a “hub” for demonstration of next-generation investigation, surveillance and forensic tools.

Within this context CopsGrid aspires to go further: to orchestrate shared frameworks, knowledge-bases, modular forensic workflows, case-management tools and cross-domain analytics so that investigators and LEAs can design their solution stacks, share best practices, and leverage forensic data systematically.

By pulling together domains such as mobile/disk/cloud forensics, memory forensics, drone and vehicle forensics, OSINT, dark-web investigations, crypto/blockchain forensics, big-data analytics, predictive policing, audio/video forensics, steganography, social media analytics, cyber-forensics vans, audit tools, banking/AML investigations and e-discovery, the platform enables end-to-end investigative lifecycle support.

These domains are essential because modern crime is multi-vector: digital devices, cloud apps, social media, blockchain transactions, drones, vehicles, GPS, dark-web meet traditional crime scenes. For police investigators and forensic professionals the ability to integrate across these domains means faster triage, evidence correlation, actionable intelligence and a more robust chain of custody.

For law-enforcement agencies, CopsGrid’s unified ecosystem means shared tooling, common standards, aggregated intelligence, interoperable workflows and collaborative training. Forensics professionals benefit from pooling case libraries, analytic templates, vendor-neutral assessments, and cross-domain knowledge transfer. In sum, CopsGrid becomes the foundation upon which smart, evidence-based policing is built: design your forensic tool-chain, share your lessons learned, draw upon the community’s expertise, and accelerate investigative outcomes across jurisdictions.
