DuPage County approves digital forensics contracts
The DuPage County Board recently authorized a pair of contracts totaling more than $400,000 in response to the planned rollout of a digital forensics unit in August.
In June, the DuPage County State’s Attorney’s Office received board support to have funds allocated toward the new unit, which officials say will assist in navigating the ever-changing, ever-evolving technological landscape with more efficient processes in place as experts sift through data for investigations, charging decisions, and prosecution.
The board at its Tuesday, July 14, meeting authorized a $344,339.94 contract for digital device data extraction, processing, and analysis to the firm Cellebrite Inc. A separate $65,472.27 contract also was issued to Hexordia LLC for digital device data processing software.
