Cyber Kiosks - The Future
In addition to the MI currently published on a monthly basis, it is the intention of Police Scotland to develop a public facing Code of Practice to articulate our commitments to the public in respect of the use of Cyber Kiosks.
It is known within UK Law Enforcement that the use of Cyber Kiosks is wider than in Scotland and thereby facilitates further efficiencies to Digital Forensics beyond networking. In furtherance of this, Police Scotland, through the Policing in a Digital World Programme in conjunction with Digital Forensics, will continue to engage with Law Enforcement Agencies across the UK and internationally to benchmark that use.
Any future expansion of the technical capabilities of Cyber Kiosks will be carefully considered with any proposed increase in capability being explored robustly, lawfully and adhering to the ‘Rights Based Pathway’. In addition, Police Scotland will review and explore opportunities with other programmes in Police Scotland, in particular the Digital Evidence Sharing Capability (DESC), to understand the ability to integrate and provide further efficiencies in the sharing of Digital Evidence.
