Excerpt from the white paper. Page 10 - Conclusions of deploying this triage strategy:
- The first conviction using this process was achieved on 5th August 2008 and the counsel who prosecuted commented in a post trial advice, "I understand that this is the first case to be concluded which involved the use of the new Triage tool. The efficiency of it is most impressive – in this case I note the examination occurred on 5th June 2008 and within 2 months the Defendant has pleaded guilty and has been sentenced."
- In the ten months following the introduction of this triage strategy the number of computers waiting to be examined reduced from 254 to 139, the length of the backlog went down from twelve months to seven months.
- There has been a positive response from all the divisional staff who have been trained to use it; the fact that they have been empowered to do something they have not previously been able to do has reduced considerably the frustrations felt as a result of backlogs in forensic examinations.
