  "description": "North Wales Police DFU have a number of objectives to achieve to allow us to continue offering this service to our end users:\n•\tSecure a contract to continue using the Cellebrite Software for mobile device extraction and device unlocking services.\n•\tExtend the scope of accreditation as documented within the Forensic Science Regulators Code of Practice.\n•\tMaintain staff competency and retain the ability of staff by continuing to use the developed method and process that Cellebrite software brings, in addition to the training and familiarity that staff already have with Cellebrite.\nThe above are only possible with the particular vendor being on board with NWP.  NWP have invested significantly to allow us to offer these services inhouse and avoid outsourcing of work or hindering an investigation. The only supplier of Cellebrite software solutions is Cellebrite themselves.  A review of the processes has identified other Vendors that offer such services however none of these Vendors ensure we can continue with the same services as below.\nCellebrite allows NWP DFU to offer the below services, but are not limited to:\n•\tMobile device unlocking, brute force or security bypass.\n•\tPhysical extraction of data from numerous mobile devices and SIM cards.\n•\tLogical extraction of data from numerous mobile devices and SIM cards.\n•\tUrgent send off service to unlock limited devices which are not supported by local solutions.\n•\tCellebrite Advanced Services – for example repair of devices to allow data transfer. Advanced download methods such as Chip-Off.\n•\tKeep abreast of changes in technology and allow for support for new models with ongoing development.\n•\tCapture of data from unsupported devices which fall outside of the software and hardware support.\n•\tSupport portal for members to raise tickets and resolve problems that arise.\n•\tWarranty replacement of cables or hardware.",
