Odyssey symposium conference - Thursday 1st June 13:30-16:00pm The Lecture Theatre, Sabrina Centre
Gloucestershire Constabulary has introduced new technology to enhance the service provided to victims of domestic abuse and sexual abuse allowing them, when appropriate, to remain in possession of their mobile phones after reporting a crime to police.
Project Odyssey was a Home Office and Police Digital Services (PDS) funded initiative, pioneered by Gloucestershire Constabulary.
The Odyssey technology allows for specially trained police officers, supported by forensic experts, to extract evidence of crime from mobile devices within a set time period.
The technology is used in incidents involving victims and witnesses of domestic abuse, stalking, coercive behaviour, rape and sexual offences who may have evidence on their mobile devices which can be evidentially recovered at the scene and in the presence of the victim.
Aim
- To ensure a ‘victim centric, victim led and perpetrator pursued’ approach to digital investigations
- To provide a forensically robust process for the extraction of time-specific data
- To complement and support investigations and investigators with technology
- Provide an understanding and awareness of the Odyssey capability
- Facilitate discussions to identify and understand various organisational perspectives, to assist in the enhancement and development of Odyssey
- To actively listen and learn
- To identify next steps for future delivery to provide a mechanism to support victims, to help them to cope and recover from crime as well as be protected from further victimisation.
