Cell Site Analysis as Forensic Science

CCL Solutions has the largest team of accredited Cell Site Experts in the UK, with an extensive track record in supporting the Criminal Justice System through its work for both defence and prosecution teams.

The seminar will begin with an introduction from Paul Mylvaganam, and will be led by Dr Iain Brodie, Cell Site Lead at CCL Solutions Group Ltd.

This Expert-led online seminar is designed to bring you up to date with current thinking and requirements regarding Cell Site Analysis as forensic science, how legal teams can best utilise cell site evidence, and the pitfalls and opportunities arising.

The session focuses on how to provide sound inference Cell Site Analysis (based on logic, balance, transparency and robustness), and spot unsound evidence.

It also provides the back story on why Cell Site Analysis is now increasingly in focus. The Forensic Science Regulator (FSR) Code was implemented in 2023, defining Cell Site Analysis as a Forensic Science Activity resulting in expert (opinion evidence in the FSR Code.

While the FSR has stated he will not enforce the Code in relation to Cell Site Analysis until October 2025, the Code still represents the standard for Cell Site Analysis in England and Wales. CrimPR and CPD apply to all expert evidence and require opinion to be robust. Robustness is dependent on the validity of the methods used and the competence of the examiner.

There is an in-depth look at methodologies and competence, with some real-life case examples serving to highlight best practice – and lack of! – and its impact on proceedings.
