Notes
The Mayor's Office for Policing and Crime is extending a contract for 10 Cellebrite Premium tools in Metropolitan Police digital forensics hubs and at Lambeth headquarters, valued at over £5.4 million. Deployment follows a tiered model, with level one extraction at police stations and level two in force digital hubs. The core product is device extraction, which is digital forensics infrastructure rather than an algorithmic decision system; the newer analysis layer adds AI capabilities.
