New Britain Funders Tour Digital Forensic Lab
May 18, 2010Yesterday representatives from the Michael Bolton Charities, Inc. and J. Walton Bissell Foundation took a tour of the New Britain Police Department forensic lab and saw the Cellebrite Physical Pro extraction device and the Secure View cell phone forensic device in action. Both charities donated $2,500 each last year to the Innocent Justice Foundation for New Britain which was then used to purchase upgrades to the tools so they can keep up to date with evolving cell phones and technology in the field. These upgrades are vital to helping the team rescue children who are trapped in a nightmare of sexual abuse in our own neighborhoods.
With reporters in tow, the police also gave onlookers a short peek at the sheer overwhelming volume of child predators locally who are trading images of children being molested via peer-to-peer networks.
To read more about the visit in the New Britain Herald, click here. But please don’t stop there. There are law enforcement teams throughout the state of Connecticut who are desperate for access to these basic forensic tools. In three cities in the state, we have donations or pledges that get us half-way towards a device. Won’t you please help Hartford, Naugatuck, Norwalk or Stamford get one of the devices so critical to taking child molesters off the streets? Click here to see what you can do to help.
