SImPLE Engagement with Police

ECU Students, Staff and WA Police have combined to produce a software system called SIMPLE (Simple Image Preview in Live Environment) The system will bed used by WA police to view images on computer drives in ways that do not affect the forensic integrity of the drive. The images are often used as evidence in criminal cases. The maintenance, testing and continued design and development of this full production software system to full industry ISO specifications. The WA Police Department will be able to take advantage of the expert skills set of the students who keep the system running and up to date in a rapidly changing field.
