2025 Mobile Forensics LTP Grant NOW OPEN FOR SUBMISSIONS

*All Departments Can Apply including State Agencies*

Grant Background: 

This digital forensics grant is set up for law enforcement agencies to acquire much needed Mobile Forensics Software and training for their departments. Law enforcement agencies are having trouble keeping up with increasing amounts of cases involving cell phone data. Agencies have to ship cell phones to outside sources for their mobile forensic needs. This is time consuming and can lead to a loss of data or legal precedence. The Mobile Forensics LTP Grant allows law enforcement agencies the ability to acquire their own mobile forensic software at steeply discounted prices due to the goodwill of agencies allowing the transfer of unused or underutilized licenses and devices. Agencies can now obtain multiple licenses and receive training with the grant. 2025 Update: Recent surveys have shown that obtaining evidence data in the field at high speed, is now a top priority for law
enforcement agencies. Agencies can now afford to equip multiple users with digital evidence gathering capabilities. The new DPX field device can be acquired as part of this program.
