Forensic informatics enabling forensic intelligence

Abstract

The utility of forensic informatics gained momentum in Queensland over a decade ago and was instrumental in identifying leakage points in forensic performance, the removal of backlogs and the provision of real-time feedback to forensic practitioners and investigating police. This paper provides insight into the evolution of forensic practice in Queensland, highlighting both the organisational challenges and the information system architecture, which established workflows tailored to the timely production of forensic intelligence to reduce, disrupt and prevent crime.
